Opening lines

We may have been enemies before, but, now standing against each other, we realized how futile all this was. Did it really matter who won? Taking a deep breathe, we closed our eyes and tried hard to re-gather our thoughts. His eyes twinkled when he looked at me. I wanted to smile but somehow the moment was lost. The rustling of leaves with the whistling wind jolted me back to reality. The land of paradise was again the battle ground. Grunting, he sprung in air and I pulled the trigger. Bang! Bang! Two gunshots tore through the silence of peace.
