Pathetic assassin
In this dark age of Japan, when deception, robbery, rape and murder is common, this village emanates an untainted mellow aura.

For six years in this village, we worked under the same roof and became close friends. Hell, just a few hours ago, I even shared sake with him.

This is how I do things. I am a professional assassin, I am used to betraying people and killing them. So, this feeling shouldn’t exist in me. But I feel it rekindle. My heart is burning and my gut is getting gnawed by a rodent. As if I am stabbing myself a hundred times over. My throbbing hands are going against my sense of duty. ***
This woman is the last villager left. Her name is Maya. Just one more quick strike on this woman and its over. But my hands won’t move. I can hear my heart pounding against my chest and a loud banging in my head. My sword is slipping from my sweat.

Oh-K-kay.” I pressed her against me so she would not feel the impact and jammed my feet into the ground. I pushed at the sloping hill with all my force and I could feel the crumbling ground becoming fickle under my feet. There wasn't much time and soon we would fall off the cliff and we would be- Yalena felt the need to poke me in the stomach and I raised my hands with a
