Assassin in Waiting: Thriller/Action

The gritty feel of the blanket rubbed against his rancid sweat-covered skin. He'd started to smell really bad three days ago, after the first week. He was a little worried that the smell might break his cover, but then he rationalized that he was hiding in the garbage chute, so people would expect it to smell bad anyway. The general complained about it--but then he complained about everything else. Watching him be ousted had been interesting from the perspective of the man hiding in the garbage chute. Two men wearing shining uniforms had walked up to the general, told him that he was leaving, and he'd left. There hadn't even been any gunplay. The man was slightly disappointed by that. He had another two days to wait before he could expect his target to appear, and he would have liked a little small-arms fire to pass the time.

Story Potential: Low.
Notes: Kind of a nifty idea, but not the kind of thing that I'd really get into.
