Frantic

Just something I wrote in my journal one day :)

When I was just a child, I never imagined I would ever be holding a gun.

Just last week, I never imagined I would be having this feeling I have now… Satisfaction. Pure satisfaction in holding this gun, looking straight at the man I would soon be waking up.

He lay in his bed, peacefully sleeping. He had no worries. He had no regrets. He was living his life when he clearly should have been the one to die. I trusted no one with knowing what I was about to do… I only trusted myself. I knew that if I had told, they would have all locked me up and put me away.

I realized how creaky his wooden floors were, so I slipped off my pumps, and I tip toed on over to the end of his bed. he grunted and turned his head slowly so that he was facing his door. I felt sweat trickling down my nose. I quickly wiped it off.

I looked down at the gun, an M9 pistol, and I smiled. I lifted my hand, and I placed it on his leg. his head shot up.

“Whaa?” He was delirious. He finally turned and looked at me, his head racing, a frenzied look in his eye.

“You made me do this, Enn.”

I pointed the gun at him, then at myself.

I pulled the trigger.

I fell to the ground.

It's brutal!! And I dig it. I enjoyed the twist at the end, even though I would have gone murder/suicide with it. I think if you wanted to expand this piece you could focus less on the anicdotal nature of the story and maul over the ideas the character has about the situation. Nobody can resist an infectious idea.

short, perhaps but this certainly does not fall short in anyway. this piece is full to the brim with emotion and intensity, not to mention a surprise ending with a rather potent message.

well done indeed :)

I was NOT prepared for that ending, but this is amazing! I was sincerely drawn in from the first sentence. I was holding my breath! Wheeew. Great story!

Wow! Interesting story and vivid details. You probably meant "pointed the gun at him" but otherwise excellent grammar. I would love to read more of your writings. Post them, now!
