He dug the blade deep, deeper. Liquids emerged from the bird's fleshy surface. The knife stung his palms, he grasped it with such ferocity. He ripped through its skin, leaving long gashes that exposed it's pale bones. He stabbed it, short staccato motions, again, again. He dropped the knife.

A single tear ran down my cheek. I never wanted to do this. To be a killer. I approached the body slowly, and removed the bow from the wound, as dark blood spilled over the man's un breathing chest.
