Day 24: The Unhappy Hitman

            I’m tired of trying to succeed at something I’m clearly awful at.  Unfortunately, I have no choice in the matter.  I’m stuck in an environment I despise along with the ridiculous amount of whining, whimpering people.
            Of course, the people are only whining and whimpering because I’m killing them, but I still don’t like it.  The problem is being good at this line of work.  I don’t like causing people more pain than I must, but finding the right place to stick the needle can be really tough.  Prodding and poking away takes time and causes more struggling.  This is often very messy work.  I have lost three of my favorite outfits in the last three months due to excessive bleeding.
            I have made a rule of not wearing white on the jobsite.  I get specially made clothing dyed with the exact color of blood. That way it all just blends in with my clothes.
            Unfortunately, the color doesn’t help with the smell.  I have to wear obscene amounts of cologne to keep the smell off of me.
            Lately I’ve been debating getting out of the killing business, but one can’t just stop being a hitman.  I need to get a new identity and move somewhere that my killing compatriots won’t find me.  So, you can see my dilemma.  I can’t really trust the people giving me a new identity to not let all of my clients know about it. 
            Money goes far in this line of work and unfortunately for me, those that hire me have more money.  I am not paid enough to escape this life.  If I was, I would be out of it instantaneously.  No regrets. Except that of all the people killed under my messy hand which holds the needle.  So, in other words I pretty much regret my entire existence.
