ALLISON

Summary of story:
“Allison...” the static from the walkie-talkie was distracting her focus, “Allison, do you copy?”
“Copy.” Allison peeks through the sniper scope. She follows her target intensely. Deep breathing. Steady control of her heart rate. Minimal overall movement.
“Do you have eyes on our target?”
“Affirmative.”
“You may engage the target.”
“Clear.”
The familiar feeling of control overcomes her. She wants to be afraid. She hates what she has to do. But she knows she has to do it. There is no running. There is no turning back. Only action. She takes one last look at the enemy. The shot placement centered directly at his forehead. She takes the shot. Her eyes widen. Deeply exhaling, she evacuates the area, leaving no trace of her presence.

“Target eliminated.”
