A Shuttle to Nowheresville, The Final Scene, May 14th, 2012


The drunken man flung the empty bottle at the stationary character.
It bounced, and landed far from the intended target.
            “I’ll give you one chance to cut this bullshit.”
Laughing, the man stumbled forward, falling face first into the street. He stood, wiping his face.
            “Draw!” He said, waving the gun.
            “Last chance.”

BANG
He dropped to the ground, blood blossoming on his chest.
The man walked over, holstering his smoking gun. He kneeled, the man still breathing. “I’ll see you in hell.” A final shot echoed out.
