《Not Quite What You Meant (Short Story Collection)》A Simple Misunderstanding
Advertisement
"And we have a second date scheduled for Thursday! So, yes, mission accomplished. I hope the distraction was sufficient. I certainly did my best. He was very distracted."
"You don't. . . take him out, you take him out."
"What do you mean?"
"You were supposed to take him out. For good."
"For good? That seems like it would be moving entirely too fast. Do you want me to propose on Thursday, or is it essential that it's done today? I could probably show up tonight, if it's time-sensitive."
"You do realize who I am? Who you work for? What your job is?"
"Yes, I know we're criminals, which is why I thought it strange who you wanted me dating, but I'm fully committed to this job, sir. I'll do whatever it takes."
"I know you are, which is why you're still breathing. But right now you're making it very, very difficult to justify that decision."
"Oh, no, did I leave too soon? I thought six hours would be long enough to keep him busy. I'm not sure how much longer we could have stretched things out."
"That isn't the issue. I'm sure you performed admirably. But there seems to be a fundamental confusion of terms here. When I said 'take him out' I intended the other type."
"Why are you doing the throat thing with your finger? Oh, my. Um, I'm not sure how convincing I could be, I've never been into that sort of thing, is that what he-"
"No! You idiot! I want him dead, not married, not... whatever you're imagining! DEAD! Slit his throat, shoot him in the face, I don't care how."
"Ah. I see. No problem, sir, thank you. That's much better than what I thought you were asking."
"I do not want to know. Now get out there and take him out."
"Consider it done."

The Fate of a villain (But not really)
But to be honest, he doesn't really want to be one. Assigned that role by a bored god looking for entertainment, he struggles with the past. Seriously, how much of an asshole could a dead man have been? As an imposter, the new soul possessing the body of a certain Francis Rayleigh, he tries his best to change that past image of his. Its not all simple though. Just because of his pretty face, it doesn't mean that life bows down to him. And to top it all off, a god, no matter how bored they were, is still by most definitions a god. Ultimately, on the grand stage of the world, will the fate forced upon him prevail? Without burning any villages, and trying to be as peaceful as possible, he hopes to avoid those hands of fate. No evil empires dancing on his palm, no conspiracy to rid the world of intelligent life. Not even a superweapon to turn the world's lives into his slaves. Just a man, found on the weaker side of life, trying to live. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: CONTAINS CROSSDRESSING, LGBT ELEMENTS It starts off really slowly, so take your time.
