Too Defensive

The celebration was in full swing when she climbed up the ladder and slowly stepped out onto the lookout tower.


"Everyone else is partying, why don't you join us?"


I shook my head, keeping my eyes on the horizon.


"Just because we've won this war, doesn't mean we're safe. This would be the exact time to attack us."


She stepped closer.


"You need to relax. What use is being so defensive all the time, if you can't enjoy things?"


"Better defensive than dead."


She sighed.


"Well, a hope is dead now."


She left me alone.


No idea who Hope was.
