Crazy Guy with a Gun

“Yo Gerald! Come on.” His best friend beconed from his car.

“Will! Glad you came!” He yelled back, jogging up to get in the car with his friend.

Once they were inside, they made the usual small talk one does with a friend who you rarely see. Both were so engrossed, neither noticed when Will took the wrong exit off the expressway.

“Dude, where are we?” Gerald exclaimed suddenly.

“Uh..” Will answered looking around. He pulled off to the curb, grabbing for a map.

Pounding came from the window along with a “Get out!”

Will and Gerald exchanged a glance and obeyed. The guy was really wack. Will and Gerald tried telling him they didn’t have any money but he wouldn’t listen.

There was a loud clanging in the alley behind the wild man with the gun. It scared all three men but one pulled the trigger and the bullet sprang from the gun towards Will.

Will yelled but wasn’t hurt. The man freaked and bolted.

Will just starred at the bullet stopped in mid air.

“It’s not your time yet Will.”
