I was speechless; I mean I knew that

he killed him. But my thought of the

reason was just for power gain . I didn't

think that it was that personal.

Before I could think of another reason he

would do such a thing. The man behind

the desk got up. Making his chair's legs

screech against the concrete floor,

and walked towards the door saying

simple words that even a toddler would

understand.

"kill him," he said in a single even

breath.

" He knows too much. And make it quick

and silent would ya Hotshot."

Then he was gone without at least a proper

goodbye like "see you in the after life

buddy". He just said kill him. I also

suspected that the bullets in the gun

contained the same liquid

that stopped my abilities.

I soon realized that this was really, really going to

hurt. More than anything that has ever

harmed me in my whole life. Which

wasn't a very long one. But hey I can't

complain. I got this far and maybe I'll

see Celeste earlier than expected. If

there is a heaven or hell. If there is , I

hope I go to the higher one. If you know

what I mean.

Right when I thought this couldn't

get any worse , it did. As I tensed up for

the end. I heard the kid move. No he

wasn't repositioning the gun to get a

better angle on my head. He moved

around to the front of me. To the point I

could look straight into his eyes.

He then lowered the gun to my left knee and

fired. "AHH," I screamed, biting into my

lips. A creepy smile began to grow onto

his face. This kid must be really sick in

the head because then he pointed the

gun to my other knee and shot. Making

me tense up again with even more force,

and my bottom lip began to bleed. Which

was the least of my problems. The good

thing is that my knees became numb and

cold before the pain could get any

worse. But I couldn't move them.
