Assault (2)

The next day morning Antonio went outside to get breakfast. When he was returning and was passing through an ally a man in black stepped in front of him.

' What do you want'? Said Antonio.

The man didn't answered. He took out a short sword and attacked Antonio without giving him time to think anything else. The short sword swiftly enlarged in Antonio's eyes as he was overwhelmed by a wave of sheer terror and panic.

Just as the sword hit his neck , Antonio was only able to think why and who would want to kill him?
