She moved out with a smile. She had never thought that she could manage that. This time, she raised the bar to her limits.
A contract killer she usually remained anonymous to her victims but today she did not. It helped that she knew the target. It was a pleasure to be hired to kill your enemy. To kill someone you hated so much upfront, felt nice. Ah, the look of horror…she had enjoyed that. Now on she knew it would never be anonymous..it would always be forthright. Yes, from now on the victims would know who was killing them.

Shocked on reading this? Well the theme for Write over the weekend at blogadda is This time she raised the bar…Well the woman in this story raised the bar of her own standards, didn’t she….:)
Is it the thrill of seeing extreme fear in the eyes of victim that made the killer raise her bar?How morbid?At least this time the victim was hated by her.What about unknown innocent(to her) victims?
Some people love to fuel up their own thrill the matters. Others pain do not effect them 😦
I hope she was killing mosquitoes only. 😛 It was scary otherwise.
Ha ha.Killing mosquito thrills? I don’t think so 🙂
A hired lady assassin . it’s a bit unbelievable as a lady is afraid of a cockroach. I like Rekha’s version of killing mosquitoes.
But she is an assassin 🙂
I hope Rekha is right. 😀
But she did raise the bar in a strange and scary way..
She did, didn’t she. I thought of a different take as I knew most of the posts will be related to sports
BTw glad to see you here after a long long time
🙂 I am here only..it’s just that I am a bit busy these days. 😦
Oh ok, take your time then 🙂
That was spooky. The most innovative attempt at the prompt I have read so far.
Thank you so much Anmol; the post was supposed to be spooky. 🙂
Short but gripping thriller:)
Thank you Vishal
That was creepy but anyhow she raised her standards.
She did 🙂 Thanks Sheethal
A very different take on the prompt. No one would have expected that. 🙂 all the best for the wow.
Thanks Preethi. Wanted to experiment with a different genre.
Chilling. Reminded me of a Sydney Sheldon novel where u know only in the last few pages that the assassin is a woman
I used to love reading Sheldon until I realised that he always made his ‘heroine’ lose in the last few pages 😦
a different but interesting take on theme. nice work
Thank you Amar
Wow, that was such a completely different yet awesomely creative take on the prompt, and that too in just a 100 words 😀
Increasing the words would have reduced the impact, so packed it in 100 🙂 Thank you Jairam
Very apt for the theme. But if she misses the target, she is gone!
Yes but that risk I suppose all assassins carry with them and that is the thrill which they enjoy
