"Killing is easy. Killing without reason is not. Jaena takes comfort in the work she does. In her mind, she's doing everyone a great service, ridding the world of people who defile humanity, but if there's one thing she hates more than anything, it's pointless deaths. Though money is money, so where does one draw the line?"

I'm writing this novella for the Open Novella Contest of 2021. If you don't know what this contest is, you can find all the info on the ONC profile run by Wattpad Ambassadors, but the short explanation is that participants write a novella based on a prompt.

The prompt I chose is: "You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep."

Content/trigger warnings: strong language; violence, gore, blood, and death, which is all in fairly great detail, because this is a story about assassins; consensual sex; and some mentions of r*pe/s*xual assault, but no descriptions of it
