5-16-12 The sniper
This short story tells the story of a Irish sniper who is facing off against another sniper. This story begins with the sniper stationed on a roof overlooking a street. The sniper eats a sandwich and then lights a cigarette. The other sniper fires at him and misses. Next an armored car arrives and is told by an informat that the original sniper is up there. The gunner is about to open up on the orignal sniper, but is killed along with the informant. The other sniper takes the moment to wound the first sniper in the arm. The original sniper cleans his wound and sets up a ruse to capture the other sniper. He places his cap on the edge of the roof he is hitting on and then waits until the cap is shot to play dead. The other sniper thinking his adversary is dead stands up and is shot by the original sniper. The other sniper's body falls to the ground. The original sniper is curious about the identity of his adversary and goes to investigate. He finds the body of his brother on the ground.
