I walked down the street listening to music in my own world. I was going to the liquor store to pick up some more cigarettes when I saw a beautiful young woman, about 5 years younger than me, walked into the store. I followed her down two rows working up the courage to say something when suddenly a, bang. Than another, and another, and another. The girl walked into me, with an empty minded stare on her face. She was horrified her jaw opened ever so slightly, I waited for a sign of her breath to enter her body and asked if she was ok before I checked out the scene. I walked carefully to the front of the store we’re three armed men and one armed woman who was almost identical to the one I had just been talking to. The difference was, this one had her weapon still drawn holes practically traced the wall around the terrified, young, and new cashier stood sobbing. He was smart enough not to move (weather it was out of fear or good judgement). The girl in the aisle still stood, a waterfall flowing from each eye, silently, as though she’d practiced before. The woman holding the cashier at gunpoint swiftly put on a black mask embellished with stickers and pink colors all around, it looked as though it belonged to a five year old girl, in fact, it probably was stolen from a five year old girl. I reached for my phone and slowly dialed 9-1-1 letting them know about the armed robbery. They sent someone as soon as they could, but it wasn’t soon enough. The cashier tried to reason with the woman as the “men” gathered what they pleased from the store. The first one grabbed nothing but a Gatorade, the other men teased him for it but he didn’t seem to care very much. The second man grabbed several cases of coors light and a bag of potato chips. The third man grabbed nothing, he only said he was looking for anyone hiding in the store and without another word was off. The girl who I had held tightly too, trying to calm her down, had stopped crying but still had red puffy eyes and heavy breathing. The armed robber snuck up on us from behind and grabbed both of us by the mouth. We immediately grabbed each others hands and held tightly as the man (who we presumed was going to kill us) showed us an exit. As we made a break for it the cashier tried to leap over the counter to catch up to us but bang! Bullets fly and he winds up on the floor screaming, the blood flowed heavily from his arm where he was shot. He cried and screamed in pain as another bang is brought into earshot. The man who helped us shot, and with deadly aim. He missed the woman by about two inches due to her preparedness and ducking but the man beside her was not so lucky he dropped his Gatorade as his body slowly hit the floor with a thud. Bullets fly between the second man, third man, and the woman this caused enough distraction for the girl and I to sneak over and drag the cashier out of the door. We got around and to the front of the store hearing screaming, cursing, and the boom of gunshots from inside. The man that helped yelled at the woman “You SWORE no one else would get hurt!” She shot back “And you SWORE you loved me!” She was hurt deeply, not physically, but emotionally. The man screamed “AND I MEANT IT WHEN I SAID IT!” Clearly hurt by the remark, he sobbed as he took the last shot, they were both out of bullets. They simultaneously dropped their guns and charged each other. The man grabbed the woman’s fists as they flew at him at a supersonic speed, after he did that about three or four times he grabbed her fingers and whispered in her ear. She immediately broke down and screamed in his face sobbing “You had your chance to love me!” She choked out “That’s all I ever wanted!” The woman ran out of the front of the store the man chasing her, they finally passed us (not even noticing). The man grabbed the woman by the hips and leaned down to kiss her, instead of allowing it to happen, her right fist connected with his nose. It bursted out blood going everywhere and he screamed. The police showed up eventually and detained the two men still living, but the woman got away.

“CUT!!!!!”

“That’s a wrap!!!”

The director screamed. And that was the end of everything, the last episode, the last season, the worst (but best at the same time) cliffhanger ever.
