Somewhere Around Five

It will just be another normal day I thought as I closed my eyes. I realized I was oh so wrong as I abruptly awoke to my Grams piercing cries. Could her Problem Change My day too? Wow! Let's just say I didnt have a clue. Eager to find out what was wrong I stumbled out of bed. So many horrible scenarios ran through my frantic head. I hoped my Gram wasn't in any severe pain. All of my emotions were becoming too hard to restrain. I finally reached my Gram then remembered a loud boom. She just looked at me and pointed into my dads room. I now knew my Grandmother was okay, but what about my dad? From this point on my day got really bad. I walked into his room finding something I never wanted to see. I remember thinking "How can this be?". I found out my father was no longer willingly alive. The coroner said he shot himself somewhere around five.
