Snow hangs in the air undisturbed by any breath, if a twig is snapped now, it might break the sky. I have a pebble in my hand, I could throw it, cast a counter-spell, to shatter the...

The click and the lock. The cuddle up to the scope. The power of the thought that now I can kill a man. The test on my soul. The barrel facing home. The knowledge that death is in my hands. The rifle is ready. I hold drilled, stilled steady. A movement now ends a life. The crack in my soul. The bullet let go. The silhouette...
