There were two men standing alone on the rooftops. Each with the direct intent of killing the other. The sun smiled politely overhead unaware of the impending battle set to rage beneath her.

The first man acknowledged the breeze passing from his back. "An odd breeze for this time of year," he thought to himself gauging his best angle. He fired his first shot and watched as it missed short of its intended target.

The second man furrowed his brow as he assessed the situation. His opponent had misjudged badly giving away his position in the process. Not that it mattered. Now it was time to take his shot. The breeze had become a steady gust - the kind normally reserved for a beach - his opponent had the high ground so he had to make the most of the shot. Running the calculations through his head one more time he let loose. He watched as the banana looped slowly through the air with near perfect trajectory. This was it. He would be the victor and live another day in this rooftop purgatory.

The building crumbled at the feet of the first man. Too close. He only had one more shot and he needed to make it count. With a slight change of Velocity this was it, the game winner.

A smile crept across the second man's face as he watched the banana crest the rooftops. He thought of all the other rooftops he had survived and the many victory dances he had shared with that radiant sun overhead. She was spectacular. Countless battles and this is all he had to think about as his death came dropping from the sky as only a single serving of fruit could. In his final moment he looked up to the sun with a smile and she smiled right back.
