Bullets

I give to you a story in eleventy-one words...

The men walked into the building, extracted their semi-automatic weapons, fired.

People scrambled, fell, bled.

The men advanced.

A young girl emerged from her hiding spot; she nonchalantly approached the leader. ‘Why do you do this?’

The men’s leader chuckled. ‘For glory, little girl. Now go hide before I shoot you too.’

‘I am not afraid.’

He pointed his gun at her forehead. ‘You are a stupid little girl.’

‘You are an angry little boy.’

She touched the gun as he attempted to pull the trigger. The gun shattered as if made of glass.

She smiled.

The leader stepped behind his men. ‘You cannot stop their bullets.’

‘Maybe not.’

They fired.
