Very nice, it kept me guessing ’till the last stanza, which was a nice surprise. Also for some reason I really like the way it rhymes…I read it out loud to myself like ten times, haha. Thanks for entering!
I like this one, and how it’s open ended. We don’t know whether he’s a terrorist, freedom fighter, or what have you, or what he’s planning to do.
In the last line though, you’ve got a misspelling and a possible flow issue: “A strangest assotment of random things,” Misspelling is just assotment to assortment, but flow wise, I think it might work better as: “The strangest assortment of random things, For the last day of his life.”
