Summary: No matter how many times he went out the tightness always crept up on him, which was probably for the better. It was a reminder that this wasn’t a video game or a dream or anything but reality. It was life and death and if he didn’t get it right, if he didn’t get a direct hit with every shot, if he slacked, if he slowed down, if he sneezed, they were all dead. The bad guys won and they ended up in unmarked graves in the middle of the desert, if even that.
