He thumbed through the card catalogue to double check the book’s location. He noted the book’s identifier before he started through the thousands of feet of library to return the bundle of books he had already read. He loved spending his time in the ancient library.

The human race had long been wiped out when his people came to the Earth. Humans had been a primitive race and most of his kind wouldn’t be bothered giving them a thought.

He was different from the others. He enjoyed their stories. He particularly found pleasure reading the works of the writer, Michael Schultz.

The guy before him did nothing to him, but this guy did something to someone. He didn’t care. He didn’t ask many questions and only had few rules he lived by.

He appeared behind the guy without being noticed. No one ever took notice of him; some not even after it was too late. His blade entered the guy’s back and pierced his heart with the skill of a surgeon. The guy was dead before he could understand what had happened.

Walking away, he was already working out the next job in his head. He enjoyed his work. He was Assassin.

Isolation imposed by the dictatorial rule of the country has kept it naïve to its horrible existence.  Few know the truth like those that see over the fence as they guard the border.  They guard not to keep people out, but to keep citizens from leaving. 

Park and Pang, two guards, face each other and not the border.  Policy dictates this rule to make sure one does not desert.  Park has decided to try for a better life, but knows Pang would never go with him.  He rests his hand on his gun.  One way of another, Park will be free.

“You stole my horse,” slurred the man.

“What horse?”  Tom was still confused.

 “Draw!”

Both men drew their guns and two shots rang out. 

Tom walked about into the general store.  He had customers waiting.

Adam Franks’ dead body rested on the floor of his kitchen. Blood pooled around his head. Cops made their way in and out of the room. Detective Jones already had it all figured out.

Earlier that day, the temperature had reached over 110 and that is when it happened.

Franks must have decided to make himself a drink to cool off, but dropped that drink. Glass shards and juice were found at Adam’s feet along with a heel print. Hitting his head on the counter and cracking his skull on the way down, Adam had slipped in the juice and died.

NOTE: I tried something with this one that I don’t really worked out well.  As you can get from the title and after reading it, every sentence started with the next letter in the alphabet.  It made the hard task of writing a 101 word story harder.
