my dad and i go to the shooting range

i put on the earmuffs and cock my gun shooting at the rubber dummies

ace de santis

i watch my son cock his automatic rifle and shoot the rubber dummies

noah puts his gun down and reloads it

i've noticed that my son only shoots people either in the eyes or throat

when he doesn't use his guns he uses his knifes or axe

noah usually doesn't use guns he likes building bombs or grenades

noah puts down his gun and takes off his earmuffs "i'm done"noah says "okay let me shoot a few and then we'll go eat"i say

i cock my pistol and shoot all the dummies in the head and chest until all my bullets are gone

"wanna shoot?"i ask jo shakes his head

jo and i get out of the car paparazzis flashing camera lights

"my eyes are hurting"i sign to jo he nods and puts his hat on me and squeezes my shoulder softly
