Life is just so good to me these days. I mean, all things considered, it's really not that bad. My job is becoming redundant and boring, my wife left me, I have reoccuring nightmares of little girls fused with robotic arms, and I'm still recovering from some nasty burns from a very unfortunate incident with carbonite. At least my brother isn't trying to kill me anymore, aye? Things are looking up.
By all means, I am not complaining. I'm still alive, and I still get paid to live comfortably for myself. So like I said earlier, it's not all bad, really. I'd like to say it's mostly the job. The job is not quite like how it used to be. There used to be such excitement in getting work, since they used to be so hard to come by. It wasn't commonplace. When you received your job, you relished it, knowing you'd be paid well for it. Now it's just... do this, do that, get a little cash to tide you over until the next big job. There's no fucking love for the work, you know?
Anyway. That's all my bellyaching for the week. I've been meaning to try a new restaurant in midtown. Some Peruvian place. I hear it's worth the walk.
Third Person:
It was bright and sunny for the third time this week.
Henry tugged at his collar and tie, beads of sweat rolling down his neck. He was all for casual dressing, but when he was on the job, he was very particular about his dress code. Always professional. Always clean cut and ready for business. Unfortunately, it also involved wearing a wool vest over his button up shirt, a tie, and a pair of matching wool slacks. His shoes were black, shiny and well polished. It definitely wasn't beach wear and he had to admit... he was dying.
To keep his mind off the sweltering heat, he kept focused on the job at hand. His hand on his Cross Sword, he made his way to an old abandoned warehouse, where his job would take place. Without making so much as a crunching sound on gravel, he infiltrated the building and watched a group of men from the shadows.
There wasn't much to hide behind, but the lighting was so poor, that it didn't make any difference. He waited until their guards were down; they whispered frantically amongst each other, their eyes shooting wary glances at the darkness around them.
Henry tried to ignore the fact that it was hotter inside the warehouse than outside, and drew his weapon. Grabbing an old iron wrench from off a shelf, he hurled it at the light fixture above the men, shattering the bulb and darkening the area.
The men panicked, yelling and rustling about, providing the perfect amount of chaos. A flash of gray, and one man fell to the floor. Another flash, and two more men fell, their bloody heads rolling around on the ground. The last man remained, whimpering fearfully as he searched for the nearest exit. The deafening sound of calm footsteps reverberated through the room, and the man panicked some more, looking over his shoulder to catch a glimpse of his attacker.
“There's nowhere to run,” said Henry quietly, a glowing beam saber in his hands.
The man screamed as the sword plunged through his heart, and gasped his last breath as he lay on the floor. Henry made a gasping sound of his own, wiping the sweat off his brow.
“Ugh, I could really use a cold one.”
