Eyes Of A Killer
The weight of the world is too much for anyone. That’s why no one ruler can do it on their own. They hire bounty hunters, and I’m the hunted.

I skipped into town from the field. In the corner of my eye I caught sight of a man. I turned and saw his eye. The first thing and the last thing I saw about him. His hazel eyes. No way they could belong to a killer.

I moved on from the women I was speaking with. I couldn’t find her and no one knew who I was referencing. I guessed she had two names. Possibly more. I turned my head and saw a girl. Not much younger then myself. I caught sight of her eyes. Those hazel eyes. No way they could belong to a killer.

I turned around and bolted. I recognized him. A bounty hunter. I tuned into an alley and heard his boots pound on the pavers not far behind me. I leaped up crates and onto the roofs. He followed. Not missing a step. I ran up to the edge and saw no other place I could go. I turned and saw my hazel eyed killer . So, I jumped.

I landed on the damp grass of the forest and bolted forward. Her breaths where heavy and easy to follow. I had trained my whole life for this. After several minuets of running I climbed up a small hill. I was out of breath but I couldn’t stop. I looked down the side of the hill and saw that it was quit a far distance down but I also saw her. My hazel eyed killer. So, I jumped.

That’s my story. I was hunted down and burned that night. My murderer lingers here where I am. Together we are each others hazel eyed killers. We would always be.
