In My Desperate Time

I shoot.

I can't hear anything after that.

Hilda and old Mr. Louis rush to Frances. Behind me, the bustling crowd are fleeing.

I just stand there and watch Frances slowly fall to the ground.

Blood oozes from his chest and reflects my eyes scarlet.

His face is deathly pale, but he still tries to put on a smile.

I see his lips move. With all the strength left, he says three words to me.

I.

Love.

You.

I finally come back to my senses and run towards Frances like crazy.

Old Mr. Louis is so indignant that he pushes me away. He frowns and shouts to me sternly, "Go away, you bitch!"

The ambulance comes very fast, but Frances’ blood flows away even faster. I can feel his vitality losing.
