"Bang!" All my mind let me utter was "He's gone." I couldn't further my thoughts. I couldn't think about the little things I would miss about him, like his smile or the way his eyes would light up when he would talk about something he was passionate about. I was lost and saw my life fading before my eyes. Not only was his life taken, but mine was also, maybe not in the physical sense, but it felt as though it was. All of sudden, I saw bright and blurry flashing lights of blue and red through my tears and heard the now eerie sound of piercing sirens. Before this whenever I heard sirens I never thought about the deeper purpose they had. I never thought about how someone could have tragically left and the pain it would cause to their loved ones. My heart sank as I realized my darkest nightmare was now reality. "Why?" I kept questioning myself.
