However, no matter how bad it was I would not give in and I chose to fight to my death. I changed from being downhearted to taking up the challenge.

I knew that he was hired to kill me for 30,000 baht of head-price. According to the gunman’s rule if you received money, you had only one way; to finish the job. If you missed, you would be killed.
