Smoky Mission

After all, his mission to destroy the enemy’s ammo was completed after days of struggle and this smog will be his cover for escape.

Taylor was hurrying towards to his camp to ensure his wounds were treated timely as they were making his body’s immunity system weak.  

Just as he saw a camp lights at 50 meter distance a hand on his shoulder left him alarmed.

 He turned swiftly to defend and then collapsed.

    I wish to know more - what happens next? Was it the enemy or someone to save him...
    So hooked to the beautiful narration

    I built an "almost made it" moment into my response to the prompt as well. I didn't see the sunrise (as I chose to interpret it) as all that hopeful. Sorry your character didn't make it either.

      James, looks like you like happy ending. Story is open ended the character Taylor still could have made it to the camps.
