Salvation or Bust
The harsh wind blows against my makeshift shelter of palm leaves that keep most of the rain from my bare back. My eyes scan the horizon and again see nothing there but hundreds of miles of ocean, causing my stomach to drop in desperation. Surely somebody has to be looking for me, right? It’s not like I am a drifter; I have a family, a son, even a dog.

Don’t Think
The gunshot rings out from behind me, my instincts pushing me to the ground. The woman I was just sitting with before lays slumped at the table with redness staining the white tablecloth below her. Rolling to the left I feel the wind from another bullet whiz by my head as the tile shatters into thousands of pieces where my head had just been. Reaching into my suit jacket my hand finds the holstered 1911 under my armpit. Drawing the heavy gun I begin to sprint as another bullet breaks a glass that had been full of thick, red merlot; covering me in the red substance which causes me to slip on the tile.
