Sweat slowly starting to rise to the surface of her skin and on her brow, which was furrowed with concentration.
The room was silent.
Her heavy breathing was the only noise in her ear. She heaved and sighed as her eyes flickered from the target to her surroundings.
She moved carefully to the side, eyeing up the marker. Side steps, crossings her legs over each other as her finger slowly pressed down on the trigger.
It sent a shot.
