I was staring at the light above my head.
I waited patiently as to what would happen next.

Then suddenly, my body quivered
when I pictured two things in my head,
which was the moment I started to sweat from my head
down to my neck and shoulders.

Before the end,
I breathed heavily, and
picked the most precious item in front of me,
And by a snap, I heard a bang!

My body slammed to the ground in a split second.
I saw flashes of distorted images:
A body, a gun, and a room.

These are the three things I could remember,
It was I who held the gun,
The one who was left in the shadows,
Alone in a place I once called home.
