As the red dot centers on his chest, retired hitman Blake O'Rourke looked around him, indulging his surroundings. there were too many people to freak out, he had to go along with it. He continued walking, trying his hardest not to draw attention to himself, he thought- no, he knew that he wouldn't make it out of this alive. But as he walked into the coffee shop across the street from his white-col...

It started out as any other day. Rolling around on the floor with the kids and the pets. It was all so much fun. And then he saw it. The familiar red dot. It was making its way up his torso. He did not know how, but the Sniper had found him.

His military training kicked in and he grabbed his two children under his arms like two sacks of potatoes. Heavy potatoes. When had they gotten so he...

The wind slipped almost quietly between the buildings that remained in the plaza, whispering tales of death and decay on its passage. The largest of the skyscrapers, the ones that formed the Exchange, showed no signs of doing any business, if anything it appeared as though these old buildings had cashed out many years ago.

If you were wise, you wanted no business with them.

Trash still covered...

"We are almost out of here, alright-" Erica says as she hoists a teammate over her shoulder to help him walk as he was badly injured. Blood spilling out where his leg had once been. She had tried to use a makeshift tourniquet but there was only so much she could do at the moment.

Suddenly a red dot appeared on her chest making her stop in her tracks, her eyes going wide as she looked to see wher...

He froze the red dot moved as it moved across his chest

He looked curiously at it

Heart panicking calm still fright close to death

Could not move

Crapping my self

Sweat poured my face

I looked at the laser light

On the distance I could not see the sniper

Helpless

Deep breath the light moved away

Huge exhale

I crouched down

A shot rang

The person behind me fell clumped toy the floor

I we...

Black-eyed peas with rice. Ging looked from the front of the khaki green pouch to the insides and back again to the package’s front. The package said Hopping John, which sounded festive and at least edible. Instead it was just more brown sludge that smelt of beans. Ging poked his fork in the pouch and retrieved a slimy mouthful. Prepared for the worst, the soldier opened his mouth. That’s when Gi...

Michelle had abandoned everything after betraying her friends, only having recently escaped Eleni's grips. The streets of Greece were just as complicated as they were before but this time she was alone.

Keeping her head down, she continued to make careful steps through different crowds, always having to turn back to see if she was being followed. Being surrounded by tourists made it easier to bl...

A red dot appeared on Travis’s chest, and on instinct he was moving behind cover before the shot can reach him.

He was never a fan of his younger brother’s twisted sense of humor.

People panic when a bullet shatters the glass of some store display, the commotion blending with the ringing in Travis’s ears. His breath shallow and skin clammy, he can only wait hoping Cas had already fled from po...

She is breathing heavily, her chest rises and falls. Her arms rocketing back and forth, pushing her forward. Aches begins to cover her muscles . Her tongue dries and sweat runs down her back. The sound of branches breaking echoing behind her as she runs. The sounds of her silk dress tearing on the branches puncturing her heart with each step. She then begins to stumble into the air as pain grabs a...

Emorry felt sweat drip down his forehead, as his chest was illuminated by the blinding red beam of a sniper scope. A greener recruit would see a collection of images, a collage of fleeting memories reminding them of the life they're losing. Emorry only had flashes of grueling training sessions flood his mind, and a cold clarity and decisiveness. As ripples of kinetic energy spread emptily through ...
