There's a loaded gun pressed to the back of my head.
I can't turn to look at the gunman's face.
"Don't worry I won't let anyone hurt you." says the gunman warmly.
(I take a few steps forward)
I can feel their breath on the back of my neck.
"It's alright. Keep going. I'm right here for you." The gunman is grinning now.
(I start forward again and pause)
"Come on, don't hesitate. I'm right here with you." The gunman is giggling a bit, now.
(I walk forward without hesitation, then waver in my steps)
"Come now, I've got you. You can trust me. Let's go. They're already there." The gunman is now cackling like a madman, but still I trust this person.
(I continue along the way for quite a while, then stop to catch my breath)
"Don't give up now! Look! There they are! Come on! I'm right here with you!" The gunman has bound my wrists now and is grinning from ear to ear.
(I start running to meet everyone)
"Hello!"
"Took you long enough."
"Let's start now!"
"Wait! I have to reply to this text."
Everyone's gathered together and the gunman has cocked the gun.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Everyone is cheering now. The gunman is laughing again.
"Come, look at me properly now."
(I carefully turn in place)
Shock overwhelms me as the gun fires straight through to my heart.
