Page 1, Quite a lovely boy he was... until one day... he saw the nightmare he would never want to see... What will happen to him?

Two shadows hovered in the lights that shimmered into the alley... I decided to have a closer look as I tiptoed forward. shuffle.. shuffle... I stepped through the fallen leaves... Suddenly the lights dimmed down... I started scurrying... Then right as I peered out from the alley... BANG! BANG! As I looked at a man falling... I too fell in shock... Then suddenly one of the people shouted pointing his gun at me, "Hey you! there's a person there!" As I looked blankly at the gun, my feet and hand began to crawl backward automatically... Suddenly I bumped into the warm wet wall of the alley behind me... As I looked around, I saw a corpse of a dead man staring in terror at me... Bang! Bang! The person started shooting at me... I jumped up in fright as I scurried back into the alley... Trip... I fell flat into the solid cold floor... I felt warm liquid starting to ooze on my face... Bang! Bang! Once again... I jumped onto my feet and ran away not even taking a glimpse behind... Bang! Bang... The shot fainted away into the dark night, but I didn't want to take any chances... I kept running and running and tripped again... Bleeding head to toes, I finally sat down on the streets... Finally catching up my breath, I began to walk home... As I walked in, I heard my parents screaming in their room... I climbed upstairs and went straight to bed, but the scene replayed on and on like a broken radio in my head...
