Anticipation

Ten -

The heart rate trebles.

Nine -

Breath quickens and becomes shallow.

Eight -

Pupils dilate with the exhilaration.

Seven -

Right thumb twitches as it hovers over the trigger switch.

Six –

The ghost of a smile comes to rest on his lips.

Five –

A quick glance round verifies their position is secure.

Four –

A brief mental check to reconfirm the placement of charges.

Three –

A long, deep breath to control his heat rate.

Two –

Eyes close in a slow blink.

One –

Thumb presses down.

BOOOOOOOM !

The ghost smile is usurped by a grin.

"Enjoy that, Tovarisch?"

"Da."
