Into The Night

...Sometimes life doesn't give
you what you want, not
because you don't deserve it,
but because you deserve,
so much more...

The sound of door creaking could be heard through the silence. I saw footsteps coming into my view and a hand reaching to open the closet door.

Just then my brother came out of his hiding place and took a scissors lying on the table and stabbed the man in his thigh.

The man groaned in pain, "You bastard...". The other man who came in shot my brother. I tightened the hand on my mouth so that no sound escapes. The man who shot my brother went near him and said , "He's dead."

"No problem, we had to make sure there were no witnesses.", Said the man while holding his bleeding leg.

"But it was not a fatal shot, how could he die?"

"who cares, as long as the job's done. Come on we have gotta get outta here."

I heard their footsteps fading away and then the front door closing. I came out of the closet and crawled towards my brother and shook him.

"Foxy... pls wake up" I kept shaking him but there was no response. Suddenly a cold liquid touched my feet, I touched it and my hand started to become red.
