The oppressive afternoon sun beat down upon the cracked asphalt, making the very air shimmer with visible waves of heat. A lone figure moved with a deliberate slowness, his shadow a compressed, dark puddle at his feet. He paused at the corner, his sharp eyes scanning the quiet, seemingly deserted street with practiced intensity. Every window was a dark, vacant eye, and the only sound was the distant, lethargic buzz of a trapped fly. His hand, resting casually in his pocket, tightened almost imperceptibly around a cool, metallic object. A bead of sweat traced a slow, deliberate path down his temple, but he made no move to wipe it away. He could feel the weight of unseen observation, a prickling sensation at the nape of his neck that screamed of imminent danger. Somewhere down the block, a screen door creaked open on a rusty hinge, then slammed shut with a sound like a gunshot. The man’s posture shifted, his muscles coiling with a readiness that was both fluid and deadly. He knew, with a chilling certainty, that the long, silent wait was finally over.
