The Island of Destiny

"Listen John," you begin to say as you attempt to back up from this knife-wielding psychopath. But his eyes glare at you and you can tell that you have absolutely no chance of just "talking this out".

Quickly thinking, you dart to the side of the tent and grab his hunting rifle. With adrenaline speed you aim it up at him, cock it back, and blow his insides all over the other side of the tent canvas.

Just then, a couple men from the hunting party show up at your entrance. They gaze into the tent with mouths agape and then look at you with a sheer expression of horror on their face.

"No, wait-" you begin to say but it's far too late, they're already calling for help! Do you think you could convince them of your side of the story? Or should you use the precious few minutes you have to bolt?
