Perimeter Secured

Night fell, and my bunker got ten times better. The wind outside howled like an intro to a top-tier slasher film, but inside my steel pipe, I owned the dark. A scuttling crab dared to click its tiny claws near the pipe entrance, thinking it could challenge my territory. I swung my blaster arm around and struck the corrugated rim with a thunderous CLANG! The vibration shook the metal, and that cowardly crustacean scrambled backward into the dunes. Nobody breaches my perimeter. I sat back against the cold curved wall, resting my gun across my knees and scanning the shadows. Pure tactical perfection.
