This week's Three Word Wednesday micro fiction piece:
Mac pushed the shard deeper into Jenkins chest. Once the twitching and moaning stopped, he checked for a pulse. Satisfied the man was dead, he heaved a weary sigh, collected all his tools and left, hoping the next assignment would offer at least a glimmer of excitement or he feared his heart was going to stop beating too.

I absolutely love how you capture so much in so few words.
I love the Mack and Jenkins. It's Mafia from the first line on.
A weary hit man. I like it!
Thank you all so much. I love micro fiction!
It's all about job satisfaction,
Gruesome!
A serial killer? Is it?
This is just as frightening Angel!
Nicely done! Haven't tried macro fiction!
This is my 2nd week at 3WW and I am enjoying it...please drop by...:)
Thanks, Stan and Amity! And he is more a hired gun than a serial killer, although alot of people do still die...lol
BWAH!!! Sharp and short and POW. Great job!
Phew, I think you hit this right!
One paragraph and it took me two pages. Very graphic and to the point. Liked it.
Angel, as far as "After"is concerned, yes, he's dead. How? Up for interpretation.
Poor thing, he's in a rut isn't he? Loved it!
How monotonous a job can become, whatever the job is... I suppose. Interesting twist, an apathetic killer. Loved it!
I don't know whether to cheer him on or hope for boredom in his next job. :) Good write.
Thank you all so much for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed my little story.
