She could feel a cold sweat dripping down her spine. A gun in her face, being held by a maniac she knew she should never have trusted.
"it's me or you" The maniac spoke calmly. "And I'd rather it be you. A corpse can't speak baby"
She looked him up and down, realising that behind his calm exterior, there was a certain reluctance to pull the trigger.
"Would I be your first?" She asked, trying to secure her nerve. He was holding the bag of money in his hand. She saw him as he took his mask off. This idiot was supposed to keep his mask on whilst robbing a place.
"No" He answered with a heavy hesitation. She could see him beginning to pull the trigger. Well, if this was reluctantly it, at least she tried to stay alive. She didn't want to die, but she also didn't want to die shaking. Then suddenly; there was a BANG!
After being disorientated for a couple of seconds, she noticed that the maniac was gone. There was a bag and a gun on the floor. Realising now that she was still alive she decided to ignore the bag and walk away.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
