Kill

By Andy Marlow

In the war-torn city of Jamahiriya, two men take a life. One is a terrorist, the other a soldier; but which is which? In this story of death and duty, roles are blurred and conceptions muddled in a tale that gives truth to the idea that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

I am a twenty year old Law (European) student at the University of Exeter in Devon, England. Hopefully soon I'll also be able to say 'I'm an author', too. I enjoy writing, obviously, as well as jogging, cycling, playing my guitar, learning new languages and going on the occasional adventure overseas.

The horizon was flat, a level line from east to west, save for the odd bump of rocky stack or a particularly tall cactus plant.

Sheltered by the embracing arms of two rough-hewn cliff faces was the scene of our crime, where deeds most foul would soon be undertaken.
