The Assassin

        One moonless night at a village park you could sense something was going to happen. In the background fireworks lit the night sky. Several cars arrived in front of the village hall. In the brisk chilly wind swings jingled in the corner of the park. More and more cars pulled up and crowds gathered. Under the shelter of an aged oak tree the few leaves protected a tall stocky built man. The suspicious man was wearing a long thick black fury coat. What appeared to be a horse grassing in the glair of the fireworks. A well-dressed woman threw a horse saddle over a rusty mangled gate. She followed, as she did as she called out “Harrold!”                                                            

The woman who was wearing a sheepskin jacket and leather boots ran towards the horse that was near the suspicious man. As she ran, she was hurled to the damp frosty ground. The six ft fiveman’s hand repeatedly went into the helpless woman’s chest. Her call for Harrold was silenced. Nobody suspected a thing as the locals watched in amazement as the first firework of the night took off.
