A Random Story

Slowly, the man crept along the closely lying shadows on the monstrous barge.  Slipping from shadow to shadow, it was apparent that this man didn't want to be seen.  Taking out a compass, he looked at it and watched as the hand went wild, until finally settling in a direction.  A direction that obviously wasn't north.  Something was up here, and the man was determined to find out what.  He reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun.  Taking a silencer from another pocket, he screwed it on.  His first victim was an armed guard who was standing just on the edge of the shadows.  After squeezing the trigger, the man ran up to the guard and caught his body before it fell into the water.  He didn't want a splash to ruin his stealth.  The body was heavy, but the man was strong.  He pulled it into the shadows and left him to be discovered at a more convenient time.  After doing this deed, the man slipped into the light and looked down a long hallway where the guard had been standing.  There was another guard on the other end, guarding a second door.  The man crept quietly up, tiptoeing on the weathered carpet and got closer and closer.  Suddenly, the guard was alerted by a sound.  The man looked down and cursed his luck.  He had stepped on a tender part of the wood, and it had made a creaking sound.  As the guard turned, the man sprinted towards him.  Before the guard could shoot, the man had dived on the ground and shot off a round from his silenced pistol.  The guard fell into the water, making a loud splash sound that broke through the night.  The man froze.  His plan was ruined.  It was over, for now.  At this point, the only thing left to do was try and escape.  The barge was too heavily guarded to infiltrate further.  The man got up and ran for the only place that was left open: the way the guard had fallen in.  He ran and jumped in the freezing cold water, just as bullets hit all around him.  Swimming as fast as he could underwater, he tried to get away...
