Write a story about a recently retired S.W.A.T. officer who witnesses a murder on the world’s largest cruise ship, and takes matters into his own hands.

Explore the dynamics of being restrained within an environment where the perpetrator may not be half as familiar as your protagonist with the risks involved. This prompt offers the challenge of integrating complex elements like past S.W.A.T training tactics, the struggles of readjusting to civilian life, the viewpoint of the perpetrator unaware of his adversary’s skill and the suspenseful game of cat and mouse that ensues in the isolated environment.
