"Gustav Kamal and the Mission of Perpetuating Existence"
A Novella by Andrew Jeanpierre
As he slid into his car, he prayed to God that the mission would be as painless as possible, both for himself and his target.
Gustav is a divine assassin ordained by God to keep Earth's leading secret societies in check. Some of them have evil intentions and are crafty enough to elude the UN Security Council Assassins. When one of these Societies use their forces to oppress the weak, Yahweh sends Gustav to do the dirty work and warn the Societies, one assassination at a time.
He woke up in bed next to his soul mate, Priscilla. The air was clean and crisp, as they had left the windows open on that beautiful early Autumn night. Priscilla was introverted in nature, sympathetic to other's suffering, and as beautiful and radiant as the sun. Her skin was like soft porcelain, her eyes a deep hazel, and her curves were enough to make even a mission-focused man like Gustav open his eyes wide and gawk.
The Muslims were making moves on American Imperialist Territory, as usual, The Jews were doing their thing in Israel and around the world, and the Christians could sense the time was near. But then again, everyone had the sense that the time was near.
Gustav kissed Priscilla on the back of the neck as he got out of bed. She gave a blissful sigh as she turned over and ruefully (vocab check) watched him get up and go towards the kitchen for his morning ice water. She decided to stay in bed and remain silent this morning, she knew Gustav had an important mission today, and she understood the value and ultimately the blissful contentment of respectful submission to her husband, unlike most modern American women. Gustav made his way to the bathroom, relieved the call of nature, showered, shaved, brushed his teeth, and put on his favorite cologne, Enlightenment by Rashknaque.
He clicked on two TVs, One for MSNBC and the other for Fox News. He was not biased you see, but a slave of the Most High, and he preferred to get both the Liberal and the Conservative views of issues, simultaneously. That was one of his gifts: he could process information and be sympathetic to both sides of the spectrum, not many others could claim this. The third TV was for whatever else he wanted to watch; however, in the mornings he liked to stick to business.
He ground his Gevalia whole coffee beans using his Nutribullet and boiled the water. As he reached to the cupboard for his antique manual filter and coffee mug, he noticed there was a fly roaming around the kitchen. He thought of Mr. Miagi and considered breaking out the chopsticks. But he decided to not get distracted.
He made the coffee and his usual breakfast: two eggs cooked over-medium with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika mix, rye toast with Kerrygold butter and a piece of fruit on the side. When he was finished he did his Yoga, Prayer, and Meditation. This was his morning routine and he rarely veered from it, unless he was on a mission in the field. On the News, people were focused on the bombings in Syria. The Secret Society Skull and Bones had made orders contrary to Yahweh's instructions by advising the CIA to fund ISIS instead of wiping them out completely (The reasons why Skull and Bones did this was still unclear), so Yahweh commanded Gustav to assassinate the Leader of Skull and Bones as a warning. The target's name had yet to be revealed.
The message Gustav received on his cell phone this morning was "Oppression of the poor will not be tolerated Gustav, go and warn the oppressors by taking out the Leader of Skull and Bones. Further instructions will follow later today."
