The Revolver

Scene 1: There once was a man filled with joy a wife, a home and a cute infant boy Everything was grand with twins on the way. A spontaneous dog who liked to play. One day in the spring He'd receive a call. It was about his family. the phone would suddenly fall. Scene 2: The car came out of nowhere smashing head on the passenger side Killing the infant son immediately, in the ambulance his wife would ride. Para-medics rushed frantically to relieve the blood draining from her head. With the severity of the wounds death was inevitable, They said!! At one thirty-four this spring afternoon, Four citizens were pronounced dead. Someones wife, someones children That is what the obituary read. Scene 3: A month later in the basement of his quaint little country home. He sat for hours thinking. Sulking, alone. The thoughts of re-uniting with the family he once had. Drunk now thinking suicide, he knew it would be bad. Palms sweaty, vision blurred. Vexed, praying for what comes next. Reaching for the instrument, his mind perplexed. Scene 4: He lifts the Smith & Wesson revolver from its resting place. Thinking of nothing but his family placing it in the middle of his face. Pulls the trigger, at that moment all went black!! Scene 5: He wakes up SUDDENLY... His puppy licking his eye. He looks at his dog, then begins to cry. When pulling the trigger of this canon of a gun. Instead of death he passed out. As for bullets, there were none.. Jared Pickett 10/17/09 Asavvy1
