Sir "Let's Play"
Haven't touched it in about a month, but I did work on it for a little bit. Anyway, I wanted to post a small bit here, so what people thought. I have one person I've been sending it to each time I finish a chapter and she enjoys it so far. So, if you're a big time reader let me know if this small bit sounds decent at all.
10 minutes till 3. New York is always busy, but this day was a bit special. The man, dressed in his regular suit for work, was waiting for a ride. 9 minutes. He kept checking his watch, hoping it wouldn't arrive late. Another late arrival would easily result in being fired. 7 minutes. Glaring around the busy street, the man noticed nothing out of the ordinary (not that he was expecting anything different). Another quick glance at his watch, the car was almost late. 4 minutes. He did get the feeling that he was being watched, but another glance around showed no one paying him any attention. 1 minute. The man started pacing....then stopped as he saw the ride just pull around the corner. Few more seconds passed as the car slowed as much as it could for him to get in. Standing there, smiling at the arrival, just about to move...
A bullet pierced the man's skull, dead center. A smile still on his face as he fell over, a sniper shot ringing through the air as people scattered. Dressed in a black suit, watching the man hit the ground, a grin hits the face of the onlooker.
"For a second, I wasn't sure it would happen." The stranger thinks to himself. He vanishes from sight, not a soul even knew he was there.
