You get ten or twelve steps when you feel a sudden pain and find yourself falling to the pavement; you never truly heard the shot that sent a bullet through your abdomen.
As you watch the mayhem about you -- more gunshots, more falling bodies, more blood -- your vision begins to fade ...
Your last conscious thought -- before you die -- is that maybe things would have gone differently if you had only answered the phone. After all, you aren't stupid enough to ridicule a gunman ...are you? |
