In the Alley After

Damn. Gutshot.

I didn’t think he’d have the balls. I was sure he was just flashing the piece, making himself feel like a big man. Shows you what I know.

Bleeding bad. I can still move my legs, but it makes all the muscles hurt.

The flash, and then like a punch in the stomach. Everything inside me all turned to blood. Motherfucker. I didn’t think he’d have the balls.

I gotta get me a gun. I’ll cap his bullshit ass.

I gotta get me to a hospital, I guess.

I’m cold. Maybe I’ll rest here for a little bit.

  1. Gut shot is hard way to go. I think if it happened to me and I had a gun, I’d use it to move myself on to the next life a little faster. Well told tale.

    Aloha,

  2. Fantastic. The voice and pace are gripping – his surprise and anger, the way he realises what’s happened, but doesn’t quite get the full impact, even at the end. Wonderful.
