Three Assassins

Hidden in the beautiful park, a decidedly un-beautiful spot. A world away from the fountain that catches the light on sunny days, from the vivid shadow on the grass of a ball a father throws to his son, from anything wholesome. A damp hollow.

He returns to the park and cuts across the grounds, finding that the fountain is merrily spouting. The water makes an elegant curve through the air as it descends into the pond. The impact on the surface causes the reflections of the zelkova trees to ripple. The image of the bare branches on the pond looks like a complex network of blood vessels, pulsing vividly. All at once the stream from the fountain cuts out.
