(Ethan''s Story)


    Rain hit the dark alley. Water splashed everywhere. Lights from signs made the puddles glow. Ethan was scared and tired. He hid behind a big trash can.


    "Damn it..." he whispered. He looked around the corner. Nobody was there, but he felt like someone was watching. "They''re out there..."


    He remembered what happened. A loud BANG, a man falling. Ethan was running because of that. He touched the gun in his pocket. Who did this? he thought. He felt like someone he knew had betrayed him.

    Suddenly, he saw glowing eyes in the dark. A cat, but it scared him. He decided to keep running. "I have to find Tony," he said.


    Ethan ran through the rain. THUMP THUMP went his feet.


    A dark figure came out of the shadows. He wore a hat.


    Ethan stopped. He knew that shape. "That person..."


    BANG. A shot. Ethan fell.


    He looked up. He couldn''t see clearly. "...Him?"


    His eyes closed. Everything went dark.


    The rain kept falling. Ethan was on the ground. The dark figure was gone.
