Poor Jude, little did he know that another writer, not far from you, penned that Enrico and Olivia's boss called and offer them "Over Time" and they accepted. LOL! But I like your ending better. :))

Ha Ha like your little twist. Thanks for taking the time to review. I can now tell you that the story ran in second.
Take care.

this story is truly a horror, thriller with building suspense from beginning to end. Jude had no real way out, unless he could call his daughter and tell her to meet him elsewhere. Your ending was very creative...a day off for assassins.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Very good job of getting lots of necessary information into your story and making the meeting with his daughter work out. I would suggest you use an apostrophe in title (Assassin(')s. As you have written it, I suspected all assassins were having a day off, which kind of messed with your hook. Also, this site suggests you leave a blank line between paragraphs and it does make it easier to read.

Thanks Carol for taking the time to review my story. Also thanks for the suggestions. I will also ensure I get that blank line between the paragraphs.
Take Care.

I'm guessing that even killers need a day off, but I'm not sure I want to hang around long enough to find out if they are on duty or not. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

This story, The Assassin's Day Off, was full of tension and built the thrill to the unexpected and humorous conclusion (until the next time).

Nicely done. I was expecting fireworks, but no, you finished things off in a quiet pleasant manner. Jude should really change to a gun that is capable of more than one shot.

This is really a great little story. Totally unexpected that everyone is taking a day off on the same day, never saw it coming. Good luck in the contest.

I very much enjoyed reading your excellent story. It really drew me in and captured my attention from start to finish. I found myself rooting for the main character all the way and wishing the best for the individual. Your depiction of this situation was quite emotional and touching to me. Your descriptive skills are exceptional and you express yourself very well.

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. You told an entire story, with characters, plot, setting, problem, and solution, using only a few words. My only suggestion is to divide your entry into paragraphs. On this site you need to physically put in a space. Good luck with the contest.
