She stared at me, her eyes moving slowly between mine and
the weapon in my hand. Time had slowed to a standstill, and at that moment we
both knew, only one of us will make it out alive. And I had no intention of
leaving just that soon. From the corner of my eye, I saw her raise her hand slightly, but before she could rethink her action, with a swishing sound, I brought
my right arm swinging down at her, and the impact resonated
through the room.
Two screams sounded out, hers, of shock, mine, of disgust.
I dropped my weapon and ran out of the room, unable to look
at my handiwork.
The next day, calmer, I came back, with reinforcement, but the body
was nowhere to be found, only a damaged part left behind.
That’s when the real horror of the situation struck me.
Right now, at this very moment, there’s probably an injured
angry tail-less lizard, biding her time, plotting revenge, and waiting for me.
uncanny this...there is blood on my hand too...and an unspoken combat rule to be followed with zero tolerance: never leave till you have finished the job at hand.
