Lantern light.
Wet stone.
He stands still long enough to be mistaken for afraid.
Footsteps rush in.
A punch,
he doesn’t block.
He empties the space.
Palm lands once.
Ribs cave inward.
Air leaves forever.
Second man grabs.
Twist.
Shoulder pops like dry wood.
Knife flashes.
Two fingers catch the wrist.
A tap to the neck,
the knife falls before the body does.
Silence snaps back into place.
He adjusts his sleeve.
Breath steady.
Gone.
Wet stone.
He stands still long enough to be mistaken for afraid.
Footsteps rush in.
A punch,
he doesn’t block.
He empties the space.
Palm lands once.
Ribs cave inward.
Air leaves forever.
Second man grabs.
Twist.
Shoulder pops like dry wood.
Knife flashes.
Two fingers catch the wrist.
A tap to the neck,
the knife falls before the body does.
Silence snaps back into place.
He adjusts his sleeve.
Breath steady.
Gone.
