Should have just carried on running...

[DeLorean (DayZ) 4]

So, over two weeks of surviving on the same character and 101 proud zombie kills, I'm finally dead. How'd it happen? Well, I went down something like this...

I'm running across a field, heading toward a treeline I plan to use as a waypoint to approach a barn I've seen. Half way across I see another player coming toward me. Could be trouble I think to myself, so I divert to give him a wide birth. Sure enough he takes a shot at me. I know I should've known better than to get into a fire-fight with low health, but...I've never opened fire on another player (had plenty of opportunities) and here's this little shit thinking he's John Wayne. But I resist - I fire a couple of warning shots and run along on my way.Then he lands one on my arm! Now I have a lot of patience, but that was it. So, I swing round and return fire. We exchange about 12 shots each before he hits me again (this time on the chest) and I collapse unconscious. I've gone from angry to laughing by this stage as I've resigned to the fact I'm about to die as I see him run up to me and shove the gun in my face (plus I kinda enjoyed the shoot-off).

And so the struggle for survival starts again...

Ahh too bad, should have charged him they often don't expect that from personal experience.
