The last thing I saw

It could be the thinnest slice of wood hurtling to me at a perfect angle in the form of a jigsaw piece. It’s been chucked right into my field of vision. It’s like a warning. Who threw it though? Maybe they’re hiding behind the door and they’re frustrated that the puzzle is being completed quickly enough. The table space won’t be available for that long. With one simple pull on the cloth, it could all be undone. Or, if you line it all up correctly with a cardboard tube, it will compact itself enough to hold together. There might be a clue on the floor as to what the puzzle is. Or it could contain another game. I’m sure it’s not a biscuit tin. It doesn’t give a clue to who our assassin is though. It might be a distraction so that they can make a quick getaway. And a shot like that may take a while to recover.
