With clear conscientious thought…frame of mind…striding purposefully…intent on destruction…

red-rimmed eyes staring balefully at the door ahead…grim determination….you scan the

horizon…no sign of a threat…no obstacles in your way…you will do it…no one can stop you

now…breathing heavily…scent of fear…wafting from the door ahead…he knows your coming…

he’s waiting for you…a prick of fear stabs you…chills running up your spine…excitement

consumes you…eager…aroused…relentless passion for the kill…burning with desire…taste of

blood…taste of ecstasy…moving silently…towards the door…to your destiny…this is what

you’ve been waiting for…this is it…the end…blissful salvation…do the deed…claim the kill…

reward…end it all…reach for the knife…unsheathe…pull it out slowly…ring of steel…beyond the

door…hear the call…refocus…here we are…we’ve reached the end…it will move fast from here…

open the door…you see him…see the same mingled fear and determination in him…you move…

he moves…silence unbroken…two…skilled assassins…neither blinking…neither cringing…

focused…harmony…the dance of death…you move to end it all…the final thrust…sever his life

thread…he does the same…thrusting toward you…see the reaper cackling in his eyes…a

reflection of your own…both fall to the ground…embracing as lovers…goodbye faithful

companion…as the light fades from your sight…you see the man you betrayed…lying exactly

as you are…in the reflection of a mirror…realizing only too late…YOU were betrayed…
