Life comes cheap. A couple of thrusts, a grunt, an exchange of bodily fluids, and the mystery of life begins anew. Life can also leave just as cheap. I like to make sure that in a few instances, it doesn't. This is by no means my philosophy on life and how things are. I do what I do because I am good at it, and it pays. I'm a contract killer.

It is all just a terrible misunderstanding - a bad dream - nothing is changed. Then I blink, my pupils adjust and my senses reach out to verify. Yes, I slept alone again.
