POW POW POW!
Two, no! Three bullets!
Derrick falls limp onto the cold storage room floor. The moonlight illuminating Derrick's body is disturbed by the shadows of his destined killers as they approach closer to his cold body. One out of the two killers steps forward and jabs Derrick's side with his combat boot as some mark of triumph or victory.

Derrick's POV:
beep beep Beep beep be-
I wake up to the sound of a heart monitor and as soon as i open my eyes, i am startled to see an old woman sitting in a turqoise seat across the small hospital room. My mother.
With industrial white hair and electrifying blue eyes. Yet her skin is pale and wrinkled. Her hands rest face down in her lap, her body image looking like a portrait to me. Then she speaks, " Good afternoon, Derrick."
" Mom?"
Her drained lips part as if she is to say something else, but a woman comes in the room through the closed door. She comes to the foot of my bed with a black velcro strapped bag." Are you ready for your shot?" The nurse smiles at me as she grabs a small plastic needle and thumps it. As she smiles her smile shows the definition in her face making me guess she's about Thirty or so. I just close my eyes since I am already sitting down. I feel a little prick on my upper forearm, then some pressure at the injection site when she puts the bandaid on. Then as few seconds past with me resting my eyes shut, I hear the door creak open followed with quick muttering of the nurse. Then I hear my mother break the awkward silence that i dislike with a simple, " Ok, I will." The door sqweaks closed, leaving my mother and I in another weird noiseless moment. "DD, you have to stay one more day so they can regulate your health." I ignore the weird nickname she keeps calling me and notice the emotionless statement she gave me. It isn't the first time my mother has spoken in a monotone manner. During times in my childhood when I got into trouble my mother, she'd give me a fierce lecture with a monotone linger to her words. Each time I got into trouble, the clearer the fact got that my mother was a she-devil. I open my eyes to give her an exhausted look momentarily then close them again. I could tell that this was different though. I heard her sigh and I fell asleep
