Forever Lost

I am running through crowds of people. I am trying to escape the horror. The pain. The death. My sister calls out my name. I turn around. I see her making her way towards me. I see her fall. I see the blood running down her leg. I see where the bullet entered her head. I feel my body moving towards her fallen one. I reach her. I pick her up. We are running. We are trying to escape the horror. The pain. The death. We do not make it. Her weight slows me. I look down. She is not moving. I sit her on the floor, against a tree. She is not dead, only playing in the shade. I keep going. I am running alone once more. I feel a sharp pain in my back. I fall to the ground. I hear screams. I do not know who they belong to. Maybe me. Maybe my sister. Maybe everyone. The world fades. Everything is black. The screams stop. Peace, at last.
