BulletsYou remember all those gunfights? Anything could shoot at us, Magnums, shotguns or some shitty alien lasers, nothing hit. (Well, sometimes, but that was from behind. Yeah Don, I’m looking at you.) And when they landed a hit, then just some small caliber. Stun and such. So imagine, we’re kicking shells like usual and all of the sudden Leo cries out and goes down. Sure I couldn’t get to him right away if I didn’t wanna get knocked off, so it took me a second or two. In those two seconds that bastard managed to fire one more burst into him, lying on his stomach face on the pavement. Then I saw red, so I really don’t know what happened. Guess I did in all the guys around me ‘cause I remember one moment that took forever. I was staring into a gun barrel. Right. Then I didn’t know about the world for a while. But let me tell ya, wake up and find out that I’m dead, Leo’s right next to me and another bitch’s got Mikey in the meantime… A couple of times I ran right through those swines that needed to snuff it, until Leo caught me and yelled at me, it’s useless, you can’t hurt them no more. We’re ghosts, we’re ghosts. What’s happening, asked Mikey, flabbergasted and moon-eyed. Then I noticed my body. Had a bloody hole shot right through the center of my forehead, I ain’t wish that sight to any of you. But I felt alive. Alive enough with all that adrenalin and I wanted to fucking kill them for killing my family, for killing me. Don, can you hear me, Mikey came to Don and waved his hand in front of his tear flooded eyes. Don’d stopped moving. Through Mikey went my goddamn murderer and shot him right in the heart. We all stared and in a moment Don appeared at our side. What happened, he asked and you could see that he’s still crying. So Mikey went to comfort him and Leo started speculating, that we’re obviously ghosts but he had no idea it would look like this. Honestly, how can he think about how we’re here! The important thing’s that those fucking frigging… fuck, I don’t even have words for them the bastards that killed us! Fucking shot us down like pigs at slaughter! So now here’s a light shining and it’s got a tunnel leading to it, and we damn can’t decide, go through or not. Don says we’ve gotta explore it first, Mikey’s jumping up and down with curiosity and wants to have a peek inside, Leo’s talking about some crap that he wants to say goodbye first. I say, fuck that, I ain’t moving from here until I take out those assholes like they took out us! |
