Summary: "When the hourglass grows too heavy to turn."
It exists in the space of a breath - or less than: death. In the rush of one’s blood before the flood of another’s. Between space and time, it is the end of time, the end of counting. When the hourglass grows too heavy to turn. Tick without tock.
High noon: and the victim, shielding her eyes from the midday sun, waits though she is unaware of waiting. In the black hole of the chamber, the bullet is patient. But you - you have waited long enough.
There is nothing you have not wanted to do to her, with her - and very little you have not done in that pursuit.
You will not be the first to kill her, but you will be the last.
It is intimate behind the scope. You bite your lip, but the blood that you draw - that you taste - is not your own.
And you kiss Sydney Bristow goodbye.

Where did that come from?
