The car screeched to a stop.
A man pulled out a gun.
The fierceness in the guns barrel
Showed it had no time for mercy.
Dragon’s fire spewed five times.
Burnt rubber and smoke filled the streets,
The buildings seemed to quiver.
Two kids plummet to the ground.
Two kids rest lifelessly on the pavement.


Police were quickly contacted.
Kids were identified and the crime scene was set.
People swarm around the scene like ants on food.
horror written on their faces.
A low mutter can be heard like the soft hum of a fan.
Locals asking questions and sharing sympathy.
This is a strong community.
