Killer Child

My name is Otto James, I'm 14 years old and I kill as a living.

It all started 6th October 1997, the day I was born. My mother was living on the streets selling herself to men to get some money, but not for food, for drugs. Then she went into labour. She was screaming for help when a man in his mid sixties drove up and asked what was wrong. She told him and instantly he put her in the car and was driving off to the hospital. I was born 8bls and 8 onces, a healthy little boy the doctor called me, but my mother never heard. She died before she could even see me. The man who drove her to the hospital claimed to be my father, and whisked me away before anyone could object.

The man who took me in was a killer.

He got photos of innocent victims from annoymous people, and killed them. It could be anyone from a 5 year old girl, to an 80 year old man. Whatever the age, he didn't care as long as he got paid. But he was getting to old for the job, and needed someone to carry on in his footsteps. Someone like me. He trained me to hold a gun from the age of 8 and taught me to show no emotion to what i did.

Now I'm 14, he has given me my very first assignment. But , for some reason, I can't help feeling that it will be my last...
