I enjoyed the way this piece was written, it really brought me into the mind of the assassin, though the adbruptness of the ending was slightly disappointing. I would have liked to have felt his pain, experienced the bullet entering his skin. Very nicely done, just a bit short.
Just really nice writing, Lucia. Your rendering of the anti-hero was poignant.
Political agendas and ALL the victims they have been responsible for haven't changed much in mankind's long history.
You have the gift. The cadence, tone and story work together with flawless grace. Thank you.

There are some sentences that don't sound like what you wanted to say.
Pg1: chained to a bed, counting how many seconds he was still alive.
I think you wanted to say: counting the seconds he still had to live.
Apart from that, i enjoyed reading it, well done and goodluck.
