I let out another sigh, it was the third one yet.609Please respect copyright.PENANAU8HtSh9Aox
I guess being a sniper is not easy after all.609Please respect copyright.PENANAHuxtEPBNSB
You heard me, a sniper, that too a well known one from the black market. It was not by choice though. I am an orphan, never knew who my parents were, and grew up in an orphanage.609Please respect copyright.PENANALfzeqcPuiX
One day, probably when I was seven years old, I was adopted by an underground organization. Since that day my life has been everything but normal, I held a gun when I was just ten, could shoot perfectly by the age of 16, and even killed my first target when I was 18. It was an old lady if I remember it right.609Please respect copyright.PENANAMU8V6NIWsQ
I stood there at the corner of the station, amidst all the daily chatter of the town. It was as nosy as ever, and the baby that just walked in didn't help at all.609Please respect copyright.PENANABEwtyNA1qi
I tilted my hat down to shadow my face from view. The minister had hired me this time. Some dirty work he must have had to make me come to such a place.609Please respect copyright.PENANA3L6P31VBCN
I was told to wait there for further instructions, that is in other words, to know who I was supposed to kill. I impatiently tapped my foot on the marble floor, producing a pattern of clicks that I could barely hear above the racket in the room.609Please respect copyright.PENANAUJfufx1WLk
Just then, I felt a presence approach me. The man leaned against the wall beside me and left what sounded like a deep sigh. I could tell he was short and a bit plump by the shadow that formed in front of me.609Please respect copyright.PENANASJduepw5LE
"Oh! Didn't see you there..." he mumbled. "Good evening young man. What bought you here on such a busy day? I don't believe you're from around, here are you?" the man beside me spoke. I turned to face him and lifted my hat a bit, "I am not sir, and as for why I came here, duty calls." I replied with a smile. "What work do you do?" he asked after a pause.609Please respect copyright.PENANAZhZ7pDUraN
I gave him a questioning look which he seemed to notice right after that, "Just curious since you know, you look quite handsome. Are you an actor?" he said defensively. "I shoot for a living," I replied truthfully, as I shifted a bit on my legs to gaze out the window.609Please respect copyright.PENANAsjInWNmrl3
I was defiantly going to miss this place, the trees, the beautiful sunrise. One could never get tired of this. "You work as a photographer? Well now, that's pleasant." He muttered. I let out an amused chuckle, "Whatever sails your boat." I muttered.609Please respect copyright.PENANAan7trXLn8y
"And what work do you do sir?" I asked curiously. He looked up at me with his empty black eyes, "I am the minister's assistant, here on a top-secret mission." Whispered proudly.609Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7Kjnpc7jX
I replied with a wide smile. This was too much of a coincidence, was he here to give me the information? It sure doesn't seem like it.609Please respect copyright.PENANA1sXeM9CVst
Just to be sure I waited for a bit longer before I asked him about my job. He kept humming a tune that sounded like a children's rhyme. "It's my daughter's favorite. She would never even dream of sleeping until I sang this to her." He said.609Please respect copyright.PENANAyHOPAeLKkU
It was quiet again.609Please respect copyright.PENANAU93YfxU0Vh
The ruckus that filled the hall didn't make it any less awkward for both of us. "Well, umm... what do you take pictures of?" the man asked. "People," I replied shortly.609Please respect copyright.PENANAZBurLgyZYq
I honestly did not want to speak with the man anymore. He seemed to be dreamy and carefree, but for some reason, I kept feeling that this was fake, that the smile and the relaxed attitude were all fake.609Please respect copyright.PENANA4UDbblbaHL
I bought my hand up and pinched my nose bridge,609Please respect copyright.PENANAArOP9ubVV4
why is the so-called information taking so long? 609Please respect copyright.PENANADNQaKWXHQj
Just then a man bumped into me, making my back hit the wall. "Watch it," I warned the red-head that fell on me.
He muttered a small sorry and scurried off into the crowd.609Please respect copyright.PENANAoSVYmt2CVM
So much for today's 'top-secret' target...609Please respect copyright.PENANAT87crCfQJQ
I stuffed my hands back into my coat pockets and decided to depart the place before I felt something brush against my hand in my left pocket.609Please respect copyright.PENANAdQC8KGRcYk
I stopped dead in my tracks,609Please respect copyright.PENANA2RKBmp59pW
I don't remember putting something in my pockets...609Please respect copyright.PENANAuDfrpM3pCW
Carefully fishing the piece of matter out of my pocket and into the light, I found a photo. In the picture stood a man smile, scarce white hair, black eyes, sunken face. Behind the photo, bold black writing read, 'KILL HIM!'.
"Do I know you? That is me in you're hand son." The man beside me spoke.609Please respect copyright.PENANAcLtfpHyTHL
He bent a bit more to get a clear view of the picture.
I sighed quietly; I hate this part.
I put on a psychotic smile and reached for my gun behind me with my free hand.
I grasped BRSEA model 388, a beauty that was gifted by my last client.
I aimed it at his forehead, just between his brows.609Please respect copyright.PENANArJ3QhwCDzE
His eyes widened as he began to back up a bit, he slowly raised his hands into my view.
"W-what are you doing?" he asked. I dove into his fearful glassy eyes that silently pleaded for mercy.609Please respect copyright.PENANAwmkuU8yn3M
Taking a deep breath, "Turns out, you're my duty..." I said, after which a few moments later a gunshot rang through the walls of the station.609Please respect copyright.PENANAn8dA8fbmYm
Soon the station was filled with screams and people from every corner rushed toward the exits. "I am sorry..." I whispered as I picked the bullet from beside the man's lifeless body.609Please respect copyright.PENANA0IbJEjUhWK
I took off my hat and stuffed both the bullet and the hat into my coat pocket as I rushed out of the station, blending in with the crowd.609Please respect copyright.PENANAb3lKT2ymmK
Following the horde, I reached behind the nearby public library. I crouched down against the wall as the noise around me faded.609Please respect copyright.PENANASaLft1ZPeK
I sat there gasping for air, memories flooded my mind as I drowned in darkness. "I am sorry... I did it again..." I whispered to myself.609Please respect copyright.PENANAvyhEBlFFtN
"I shot a man again..." I mumbled, now tears glistening my eyes.609Please respect copyright.PENANABmqTRxXswb
I looked up at the now deep blue sky, the stars now shone, lighting up the sky like tiny lanterns. "I a-am so, so sorry... Mia... I- I took... another soul...."
