The Ninja Epidemic

You let go of the knife and turn around to see the ninja closing in on you. He strikes down with a deadly swing of his katana, but you dodge safely to the side.

You try to get in close enough to hit him with a punch or a kick, but the reach of his blade keeps you at bay. He cuts you here and there with knicks and scratches, and you're not quite sure if you are narrowly avoiding death blows through your nimble feet or if he is playing a cat and mouse game with you. The arrogant side of you wants to believe in your agility, but the rational side of you leans towards the belief that you are being toyed with. And, like spin the bottle with a party of hermephrodites, it is not a game that you are comfortable playing.

He jabs forward with the tip of his blade and you roll to the right and step in to land a solid fist on his face. He stumbles back a step and you close in to continue to pommel him into a submissive state. But you never get the opportunity.

The moment you step in is the moment he takes a sai from his belt and jabs it through your rib cage to puncture your heart. A cold shock courses through your body and soul as you fall to the ground, dying.
