Shadow Soilders of the Empire

Katana sheathed 

head high

adrenalin pumped 

step with steps of air

creep upon the unaware

stride up behind

slide silently out the sword

fingers griped into hair

blade of steel hard and cold

one quick flex and blood is shed 

now my enemy is dead

Very vivid in imagery this write. Very well written. The picture is almost brutal, but it is reality. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
