The black-mask man pointed the gun at the woman whose child is just staring at her with fear all over his eyes, but the only things that are in the woman's mind are death and music. The black-masked man pointed the gun on her forehead and slowly pulls the trigger which is a sign of hesitation but jealousy wins over him. A loud bang rings into the boy's ears that made his world stop. He looks through the half open closet and run towards his mother lying with her blood. The black-masked man just looks at him with pity, but doesn't have the courage to face the son of his victim. He runs away and didn't looked behind because of guilt. "Mommy!" "Mommy!" The boy just held her mother's lifeless body. He couldn't breathe, look into her face, and anger is all over his face. He wants justice. He wants vengeance in his hands. The boy looks into the door that black-masked man went through. "I'm going to look for you, and I will never stop." He wants revenge. "I hope you will miss me." A God-given gift could be used into two ways: the good or bad way. And he used it both ways. ~AUTHOR'S NOTE This is my first work, so please, forgive me if I committed any grammatical errors or worst, my story is so lame or the plot is all over the place. I hope it doesn't happens. T___T And English is not my first language, but it's not an excuse though because I'm a Filipino. I hope you will enjoy my story so that I will be motivated to continue writing. That's all! Enjoy! Thank you. Maraming Salamaat.
