Grains of sand trickled into the gully as an arid wind whistled in from the trackless wastes of the desert. The sun was setting, but still its merciless heat blazed down onto the little vegetation. A lizard paused in the long shadow of a single blade of grass, sensing something, or someone, unwanted.
Crack! A shot from an English-man’s pistol split the air, and a deafening silence descended in its wake. It was a waste of lead, but the tall figure draped in black didn’t care. Why should he? He could go where he wanted to in less time then it took to blink his cold, lifeless eyes.
It's supposed to be about 200 words, but this in only 106, how could I add to it - may be another paragraph but it has to stay thriller-ish with suspense in it.
Ideas please and feedback!
