(drip drip) the sound rain makes as I lay on my wooden bed staring out the window at the forest as it floods. The forest fills with water and the rabbits are stuck with the foxes and deer, i feel bad but the animals don''t attack each other like they know they have bigger problems. "Food is ready" my mom yells i look at the clock it reads 11:45 i get up and head to the kitchen, its a sandwich i eat then go out on the patio my mom yells "get back in" luckily she gets side tracked and forgets. "cool" at that moment I spot a black crow in all its Beauty and then I take a closer look in the trees to see if there is anything else I missed, unfortunately there is not. BAM! a knock at the door wakes up the neighborhood the animals are spooked and run. "my car broke down and i need help getting it started can you help?" and guy in his late 20s or early 30 ask my mom then says "sure let me grab a umbrella and the wires, as as soon as she faces away his face has a sinister feeling a get a chill down my spine. "don''t forget if i''m not there to protect the family the safe combo is SZF" the words of my brother come to mind and i sprint to the safe and some how no one sees me, just then as the safe opens i see my mom and the man head out in the storm. The gun is lighter then i remember I then recall that I need ammunition i grab two clips each with 17 rounds. Crack! i break a branch as i run towards the road and see him stand over my mom with a wrench in his hand. "what are you doing" he says with a weird expression i shout " you deserve this and so much more" bam bam! the gun makes a lot more sound then I remember just as he drops to the ground the sun starts shining i take it as a sine i did good and drag his body along with my moms to feed the animals, unfortunately the cops come to take away the bodies and me and charge me with 6 charges of murder and tampering with a corps guess they checked the woods oh well im under 18 i will be out soon.
