As I watch him through the undergrowth I feel a light tingling sensation dance its way slowly up my back. My hand moves slowly; twisting and turning it’s way behind my body. Locking my wrist in place I swiftly slap my back, I can feel the flattened insect body peel away from my bare shoulder blade. My movements still as my redemption catches my attention once more. He froze, eyes wide in animalistic fear as he stared straight into my eyes; catching me off guard. It appears the prophecy shall be fulfilled a lot sooner than I expected. My limbs moved on their own accord following a practiced routine. My hand reached under my vest top, gripping the cold metal I swung at his temple.
“Strike one” I mutter as I walk away. Two more and I will do what I’m getting paid to do.
