Eight Sentence Sunday #12

7/1/2017

7 Comments

 
I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. I've been trying my hand at free writing lately, and this is my favorite piece from this week.

Last night it happened, but they do not realize the truth. The elephant demons of my homeland, known criminals, attacked. Yet the police here are ignorant. They believe that I, a person of the knife, defected.

They are wrong.

If they will not give this investigation serious thought, then I will have to be the one to avenge my friends and family of choice. If they get in my way they will rue the consequences, if they survive long enough to think anything at all.

For I am of the last of the knife in this country, the best of the knife before that, and a knife on a mission is the most terrible thing.
