I stabbed someone tonight.

I was surprised at how not-nervous I was, given that it was the first time I ever stabbed anyone, but it’s easy to maintain your bearing when you’re fixating on technical details. Check your gear, check your target… check, check, triple-check. Be a pro. Orient yourself to your landmarks, slip in with a smooth quick stab, withdraw carefully, dispose of the weapon, slip out the door.
Of course, it was B-12 rather than a Ka-bar, and the victim said, “Thank you,” rather than bleeding out into his vital-T, but I still punctured someone’s flesh with a sharp piece of steel.
It suddenly occurs to me that this is the second job I’ve had in which I’ve been formally taught how to stab someone.
I’m not sure I want to examine that one too closely.
