04 She said ‘I love you’ in the only way she knew how--she pulled the trigger.
She said ‘I love you’ in the only way she knew how--she pulled the trigger. Two shots went off with a bang and I fell to my knees clutching my heart. I looked at my blood soaked hand, and then at her. The most beautiful dame I’d ever known and I never knew her name.
“Sorry Kiddo,” she said as she whipped away a tear, “you know you had it coming for you.”
My body weakens and my vision blurs as I crumple to the floor like a rag doll. I lifted my head and squinted as the pitter patter of rain hits my open wounds. The most beautiful dame I’d ever known walked over to me, nestled her foot up against my throat, and cocked the gun once more.
Still in tears, she pulled out a cigarette with her free hand and lit up. I watched as the smoke curled upward to the heavens and waited. She was right. I knew I had it coming.
“Dammit girl,” I managed to stutter after spitting out blood, “Do you kill every single one?”
“Just the ones I like.”
BANG!
