Assassins...

Sound dark and foreboding? Good, 'cuz it is!
Thing is, I'm a big graphic artist and I lurv drawing violent fight scenes. And I'm always looking for inspiration outside of my own tiny brain!
So, here's the basic contest layout:
I want any kind of writing (it can be a poem, a story, a script, anything) that has something to do with an assassin. BUT NOT JUST ANY KIND OF ASSASSIN!
This assassin must be:
1. Original
and
2. Defeatable (that is to say, they can't 'not die'. They can be very strong, but they need some sort of weakness)

WARNING: If you copy something from a comic book or a movie, you will be DQ'd, as well as have candid comments posted on your rip-off story.

NOW FOR DE ROOLS
1. Any category goes. This assassin can be a work of fantasy, horror, folk, etc.
2. Romance is fine by me, and it can be straight, gay, lesbian, bi, you name it
3. 200 words minimum, 10000 words maximum
4. NO BASHING of any religion, race, gender, or sexuality. You can bash Nazis and the KKK and stuff like that all you want.
5. NoNe Of ThIs Or YoU'rE dEAdEr ThAn DuMbLeDoRe
6. No chatspeak unless the characters are IM'ing
8. Best of LUCKEHS!

OH, AND...
The winner will get a drawing of their assassin done by moi! (Don't worry, I've been told I'm a good artist)

    Hmm?

    I've got killers, but no assassins. Let me know if you broaden the scope, please
