“The Assassin”
He waits, prowling and smoking a cigarette in the gloomy room. The house is deserted apart from rodents scuttling along the grimy skirting boards. A tarnished car passes the house yet he is focused on one thing, the accommodation across the street. The street is watery. The strong rain assaulting down like the bullets from a machine gun. This does not disconcert him as he raises his rifle stirring down the sight with his cold grey eyes, looking at the apartment again.
