I was serving a lady and her child at the front of the cupcake shop, cute cupcakes. I was placing vanilla and chocolate cupcakes in a box when I heard a gunshot.
My head shot up to the direction of the piercing sound. When my eyes find the attacker he had already shot 5 people, a child and mother and also two men. I froze as I saw the attacker moving towards me. As he was walking towards me I suddenly remembered there was an emergency button if there was ever an emergency the button would automatically call 911. I went to go press the button, but he realises what I’m doing and spits out at me “Don’t you even dare”
I try to be smart and ask
“Don’t dare do what?”
He replies
“Don’t be smart with me, you know what I mean”
I answer back realising that if I keep on acting like a smart Alec I can quickly press the button so I answer
“I don’t know what you mean, what do you mean?” I say shrugging my shoulders.
He answers
“I know you know, just give the act up”
While his talking and is distracted by his own words I press the red button.
I then say
“Ok I surrender”
He then smiles like his accomplished something big. He then says
“Give me all the money in the cash register”
I reply
“No why should I, this shop has deserved it and it will not be taken away by anyone.”
The attacker takes in what has just been said and in one swift move he brings up his gun to my head.
I’m standing there terrified what’s going to happen next but I don’t let my emotions show.
In seconds the police come rushing in trying to get everyone else. But they were too late, the bullet has already left the gun. The bullet hits me right in the chest. The next thing I know is I’m on the ground when my eyes fill with darkness.
I have died trying to save other people, that’s good enough for me.
