Literature has always been about concise, good writing that draws the reader in quickly.  Short stories have always been good reading material for everyone.  They can be put into magazines, chronicled in anthologies and also used to train new students in how to write, how to think and how to make your story concise without loosing detail.I had no idea what a Kindle Single was but thought I would try this one since I do love David Baldacci's writing.This very short story deals with the life of a paid assassin who does his job well.  We have a quick look at his latest job and then follow him as he meets a new client for an "challenging" job.  But what could be so challenging about what appears to be a very strait forward killing.  He sees nothing challenging about it.But that is where Baldacci catches us.  The man does his job quickly and well, but as soon as he has dispatched the victim he realizes that he has made a grave mistake.  This story will take you about ten minutes to read and will leave you with the desire to read more.Maybe Amazon will package these Kindle Singles into an anthology so that we have a larger gathering of short stories in one volume.Enjoy!
