Zero - part 8 [this is the last part, so I hope, if anyone actually read this, that you enjoyed] ‘Daddy! Wake up! Daddy!’ Lily sniffled as she clung to the body in front of her. I walked towards her the handgun by my side. She looked up and saw me tears running down her face. ‘The bad people must… have… come…’ I raised my gun to point it straight at Lily’s head. Her eyes widened in surprise but she couldn’t say anything. She was associated with the targets. I was confused. Did I have to kill her too? I couldn’t leave witnesses. But it was Lily. Did I have to kill the little girl in front of me? I held my hand stable but the rest of me was shaking. I didn’t understand why I felt so upset. No. I didn’t understand why Lily was so upset. Her dad must have done something bad, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to kill him… right? The General wouldn’t order the death of someone innocent. I moved my finger an inch. ‘Why…’ I whispered. Lily just looked at me with terrified eyes, unmoving. I didn’t know what to do. How would the General act in this situation? He’d kill her, no questions I knew that, and I knew should do the same… A tear trickled down my face. I quickly wiped it away with my free hand. What was happening to me? I closed my eyes for a second; I had to act. I looked straight into Lily’s eyes. ‘I’m sorry…’ My name is Zero and I am ten years old.
