Monk 1: Beginnings (Part 1 of 'The Trails of Monk')
1 year has passed since the execution of an entire village in the hills of Tibet. Now, the only survivor, Monk, a Buddhist priest caught in the vicious acts that were carried out there, is out to get revenge on the Chinese who devastated the village in front of his eyes. This story is about revenge and faith in a world that is and never was fair. "Fearfully violent, yet with a strong presence."
This story is about 3200 words.
The embassy was quiet. Small lights flickered on the brick wall illuminated by a nearby street lamp a few meters down the small tree lined street.
He threw the blanket over top and straddled the fence carefully, avoiding the well concealed barbed wire on top.
A dog barked once in the distance, but, otherwise, there was no indication that he had been seen.
He grimaced. The weight of the Glock 17 sitting tight in the small black hoody's pocket felt oddly discomforting. It was a reminder. 12 months ago he had been searching for enlightenment, now he was the type of man who carried a gun and knew how to use it.
He cleared the small courtyard and slid up to the wall, back first, to peak in through the window next to the back door.
The scent of cooking meat wafted out of the kitchen window. A chef stood stirring a boiling pot of white liquid on the stove.
Monk drew out the Glock and slowly twisted the door handle around. Somewhere behind the door he heard a door open and two male voices.
He ducked back and pushed himself into the wall next to the door frame.
It opened and pushed back against him. A man in a bullet proof vest holding an automatic rifle walked out followed by a soldier in full military gear.
The man with the vest pushed the door closed with a flick of his hand as he walked towards the far corner.
The door popped shut and Monk was temporarily exposed. He waited to see if the men would look back...
