Manhunt Airsoft Game

one... two... a deep breath... and three! You run as fast as you can.

You are confident and hidden well, but you know you are breathing loud as you try to catch your breath. The escape from the prison camp was daring, and you had hoped to be free a little longer before you they noticed your absence, but the escape alert just screamed out into the darkness. It is better to keep moving while looking for a better hiding spot. You believe you can make it to the building ahead of you before they see, but will you? Your body aches, but you are going to go. You count to yourself... one... two... a deep breath... and three! You run as fast as you can.

Origins/History:

Throughout history, those confined desire to be free. It happens in jail and on the battlefield. When the desire to be free outweighs the risks, then captive will start to plan a breakout. In the case of military prisoners, remaining captured can lead to torture or death so they may be even more motivated to escape. No one likes their prisoners to escape so it will always lead to a manhunt. Those who may help an escape could end up tortured or killed so often the prisoner does not get any help.
