I think this pic would make for a good 1 vs many, kind of story.
I’m thinking it’s either Spring or Fall. Leaning toward early Spring so there’s a lot of stuff already growing but it’s not completely overgrown. And it’s chilly at times and rainy.
I also like the idea of it being near a swampy region/area too but not sure if that will work or not.
Now the question is, is this guy the good guy or the bad guy of the story?
Is he a sniper hunting down a team? Or is there a team hunting him down?
That sounds like the same thing but depending on how it’s written/presented, it could come off as a very different story.
One possible idea would be that this guy left his old team and now his team has to eliminate him.
So does that make him a rogue agent and he’s done something bad and is a threat, thus making his old teammates the good guys?
Or is he being framed for something because he refused to carry out an order and thus he’s the good one and his old team are the villains.
Another version/idea could be, he was sent in for a long term assignment and he’s been out in the woods for a long time. He’s been slowly stalking his prey/targets and has eliminated them all.
But then something happened to his commander and he was legit forgotten about and he’s been left out in the middle of nowhere for weeks/months.
So there’s a couple of ways we could go right off the top of my head.
We also still need to figure out what country he’s from as that will change the flavor and tone of this story as well.
