The Shooting
'What would be your last thoughts if you knew, your life was to be taken, in less than the blink of an eye? How would you live being in constant fear? Or being watched? Or not knowing when it will strike?' Lenora is your cliché teenager in school. The average, introverted, and shy student. But with a piquant and witty side. She always valued everything in life; never choosing to be greedy and cruel, content with how everything is.

There was something much more than just a 'supposed' shooting. Come and see what lurks behind the dark corners. From behind the rustling bushes. To where the mysterious 'clicks' keep coming from. Come and understand one's betrayal and thirst for utter vengeance. (SNEAK PEEK): ''Why are you doing this!'' Lorena screamed. The ropes restraining her tightened. She can feel the cool tip of the knife run along her half-naked body. Her tears threaten to fall; but she does not let them. ''Oh baby, it's because you're letting me.'' He whispers.
