A Metallic Wish

Prologue

“Karen, where are those pancakes?” My boss asked angrily.

I placed my book on the counter and checked with the cook. Harry picked up the burnt pancakes and placed them in plate. I turned around and started to walk away with the plate until he called me back. “Karen after work we should... go out for some coffee or something.”

“I’m supposed to plan my grandma’s funeral...”

“I’ll pay and it won’t take any of your time.” he begged. I decided to walk away before I gave in and decided to go. Yeah, I liked him but I wasn’t interested in a relationship right now with a cook that could barely cook worth a dime.

Today business was slow. Well, I would want to be busy though because Mr. Grey my boss never gave us extra pay. That’s why I was reading a book.

A book about how to quit a worthless job.

I was ready to make him seem like a fool and make sure nobody every came back here. I smiled as if I one something important. Once I placed the plates down at the costumers I watched as a young couple walked in auguring with each other.

Grabbing the menu of the counters and offered it to them. The girl snatched the menu out of my hand and shooed me away. All around me I heard and watched people get up angrily and leave the restaurant.

Soon the angry mumbling became screams of terror as I heard gun shots. I turned around and watched as the lady with the gun pointed it at me. She looked crazed. Her hair was in rags just like her top and jeans. Her mascara was running because of the tears which were running down her flushed checks.

She started to walk towards me not letting go of the aim on me. “Why did you have to live? I tried everything to get rid of you. Why won’t you die?” she screamed as she pulled the trigger.

I closed my eyes waiting for the bullet, but it never came. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Harry in front of me.

He had a gunshot in his arm while holding onto the gun. The lady looked shock for a moment but angry started to rage in her eyes once more. She pushed Harry lifeless body onto the ground at the same time I reached into my pocket traumatized.

My mind only raced around two subjects: I needed to call 911 and I was next.

“Drop the phone!” She screamed. I shook my head no and started to dial 911 before she shot it out of my hand.

Then I heard it. I felt the bullet hit me sending me to my knees as I reached for Harry lifeless body. A dark figure walked towards me and holds my hands. Its touch was cold. What ever it was, I could somehow feel its sadness. Its invisible cries ringing in my ears. I looked back

that girls face blurred in my own tears, “Why”

“He loves you instead of me.”
