No Turning Back

Chapter 2 murder

As I walk next to the street on the cracked sidewalk. There are turned over on there sides, abandoned. I don't think I remember any earthquake or storm last night.

I feel so confused.

I decide to go to a general store and get something to snack on. I just hope it's not abandoned either. Maybe if it is I can just take it and leave without paying.

I was walk and get closer to the store I hear screaming it sounds like it's coming from inside the store. I pull out my switchblade my dad gave me before he left for Iraq. He was shot and killed a few weeks later.

When I enter the general store the screaming becomes louder. I walk towards it and there sitting with there knees at there chest is an a teenager about my age. She starts to sit up and starts walking towards me. I then get my switchblade and start poke at the to get her to back up away from me.

She doesn't back up she just keeps walking. "Get back or I'll cut you", I say to her, but she doesn't she just keeps walking. I then run up to her and stab her arm. She lets out a loud wail. But she keeps walking forward. I then stab her again this time in the leg. She then stumbles and falls over. She then says something that I can kinda make out. "There's no turning back". What does that mean.

I then hang onto the switchblade with two hands and bring it down right in her stomach.

She's dead.

I'm proud yet feel bad about killing her. But it was self defense so it was okay.

I take my favorite snack out of the store and I walk home.

I'll can think about is no turning back. What do they all mean by no turning back?
