Assassin

An assassin drew his dagger
but hesitated a while for the victim was undecided
at that moment
he saw a shadow passing by

he followed the shadow
and stabbed the back.

The shadow let out a scream
and fell to the ground
at that moment 
an egg 
cracked open to hatch a chick.

Thanks. Actually, no one should or can kill anybody.
