His life was over.  This was it.  He had no other options, no other paths of escape.  One hall, two doors and then open air.  That’s all he wanted.  Open air and freedom. 

And it was just out of reach.  He could swear he felt the breeze, see the hint of moonlight.  It was so close.  And yet...

Vincent collapsed to his knees, all the strength running out of him like water from a leaky bucket.  He knew the sensation.  He wouldn’t be long down, not long at all.  He just..he just had to last a bit longer.  Just a few more paces. 

“You’ve outlived your worth to me, Valentine.” A cold emotionless voice sounded just behind him, a voice that seemed to freeze all the blood in his veins.  A hand grabbed his hair, yanking his head back and baring his throat, a flash of cold steel catching the light as the blade struck.

It was easy to dispose of someone if you were careful about it.  If no one saw you throw out something and no one came looking, it was just one more nameless thing that could be fed to the worms and the insects.    And that’s all that came about the lanky corpse that was smuggled out. 

If there was no one to ask questions, did it ever really happen?
