Flichhh!
The sharp sound reverberated through the room, followed by the sickening splatter of hot blood.
Arthur's face was spattered with crimson drops, warm and sticky against his skin.

Arthur turned his gaze toward the window, where the faint glint of a sniper's scope disappeared into the distance. He folded the bloodstained handkerchief neatly and tucked it away before standing, his posture relaxed but his smile cold and sharp.
