"I'm dying", when she said that, I could hear it in her voice, her lungs were bad. "I need your help, I want to do something, to make things better before I go." There was a long pause, it lasted almost a minute, then she said simply "I'm going to kill him." She wanted your help, and you can't believe you said yes. You're outside his house now. It's 3:40AM. You have your piece, and she drew a rough blueprint of the interior for you. The window was open just like she said. You go in, and you get to work. You never killed anyone before, but you'd been trained to. You were in a mode you had never felt before, you were scared, very, very scared, but that made you sharp, you didn't give in to the fear, you didn't shake, but you did get tunnel vision, you did feel dizzy, but you breathed, just like the training taught you, breathe, breathe, brea- what was that? A creek in the night, you stayed as still as a statue for a full hour, waiting, once you were sure whatever activity has caused the noise had ceased, you carried on. You went to the bedroom, and when you went in you saw something beyond words, you saw a mess that would give an executioner nightmares. What this man, no -this thing- had done, made you begin to shake, for a moment. But you are trained, you fall back into your mind, and let the training take over, you can deal with what you saw later. You finish your job. And you burn down his house.

I wonder if my stories shifting from first to third without my realizing is a sign of mental illness, or just forgetfulness
