The gun in my face is an unexpected reality check. I'm in a basement. This guy kidnapped me. People think I'm dead. There's nobody to care or notice my screams. Wait. he never said anybody would hear me scream. Maybe we're in a neighborhood? Before I can really think about it I start screaming like a maniac. He looks confused and pissed. A strange combination. Ugh, is this seriously going to be the last face I see? Well, that's depressing. He steps closer putting the gun closer to my face. I stop screaming. He's still getting closer. What do I do? I'm freaking out when he trips on his shoelace. The gun goes off, putting a bullet in the ceiling. Dirty water starts coming out. How aesthetic. I look down to see that the gun is out of his reach. I slide it towards me with my foot and pick it up. He reaches for my ankle and yanks me to the ground. I knee him in the face on the way down. He grunts in pain and I hope he has a concussion or worse. I grab the gun again and point it in his face before he can get it.

"You don't know how to use that," He says desperately. I almost feel bad. Just kidding. I point it at the ceiling and fire. Giving the hole that's already there a companion.

"Seems simple enough," I say. His face was so red a second ago but now it's just plain white. Ugh, why do I have to be a good person? I use all the bullets in the pistol at the ceiling. Huh, it kinda looks like a smiley face. Cute. I toss the gun at his face and sit back down. It hits him on the head and clearly pisses him off.

"Oh, that's it!" He says running at me. Crap.
