Explanation:
This sniper is a novella written in the beginning of the Irish Civil War throughout the battle of Dublin, and by the Irish author Liam O'Flaherty.
He drained a drought with the whisky out of his coat. Under the power of the mind he felt irresponsible. He wanted now to quit the roof and search for a briefing from the head of his organisation. It was silent all around.
There was little risk in the streets. His revolver was picked up and put into his coat. Then the skylight came down to the building below.
