Death can come in any number of ways, but to we humans, to be murdered is surely one of the most horrendous of ways, because it comes so unexpectedly.
And so it is with murder. It can come in many forms, all definitely unexpected by the recipient.

Bombs...pah, they have no place in my repertoire, for they are the cause of the deaths of too many innocent victims, and they bring untold suffering to the many survivors.
No, I would never resort to using a bomb.

Killing at long range, such as by using my considerable sniping skills, no longer brings me any inner satisfaction.
No, nowadays I prefer to do my killing close-up and personal.
The very fact that I can do it and never get caught, or even be vaguely suspected brings me untold pleasure.

Of course my killings must all appear random, without routine or recognisable pattern. For this I must plan, and plan well.
My killings must embrace every possible detail, and every possible unexpected mishap. No scenario can be rejected as an unthinkable possibility.
From this immaculate planning I derive the utmost pleasure.

Sometimes I will take a paid contract-killing just to maintain my position within the hierarchy of professional hit men, but no-one knows my real name or identity.
All payments are made, in advance, through off-shore accounts.
My hirers can place their utmost confidence in me, for I have never been known to fail.

Do you still feel confident about your future, now that I have told you about my secret existence?
Do you think that I don't know who you are, and where you live?

Kitos. ;-))

Hey Kitosdad,

have you stood on the bridge above the autobahn and seen the dark Audi A8?

The man behind the steering wheel, dressed in a made-to measure suit, well shaved in the morning but having got a pale grey chin again from by the growing stubbles?

That one who seemingly was talking to himself while answering to a business partner via no-hands-telephone in order to prepare a last business before the weekend?

That one who treated the car driver before himself with his nervous kicking the gaspedal and coming close and closer to him with the idea to scare that one away to the right lane to get his place in the queue?

Hope you didn´t drop the gully cover onto that car from your place on the bridge, it wasn´t me. hahaha

Michael
