The sniper is a story about A sniper, the main character during a war in Dublin around night-time. The story starts when the sniper wants a cigarette. he knows he is taking a risk exposing himself to the enemy but odes it anyway. A bullet whizzes over his head, he is seen. He darts around and hides on a rooftop. A military truck comes by, and man in the turret stops to talk to a lady on the street. The sniper sees this as an opportunity to take out the turret man, and kills the man and woman. But before he kills the woman she points up at the rooftop of a house across the street, revealing to the sniper where the enemy sniper is. After the two shots form the sniper, the enemy sniper hits the main character sniper in the arm. The sniper decides he needs to escape, and devises a plan. He puts his cap on the tip of his rifle, and raises it over the rooftop. The enemy sniper fires, and the cap falls to the street and the sniper lets his arm dangle over the roof and drops his rifle. The enemy sniper now thinks he is dead and turns in profile, and the sniper can now see him. He pulls out his pistol, and kills the sniper,  who then falls to the street. The curious sniper goes up to the body after dodging bullets in the street. Lays down next to the body and turns it over to find himself looking at his brothers face.
