Mind Games

I recently came across my old Creative Writing notebook from my senior year of high school. Sometimes I surprise myself with the things I write... and this particular story I'm about to share is pretty good...

A huge thunderstorm was expected for today. I hear the thunder approaching. I saw the lightning flash. I heard the rain drops fall faster and faster. I ran to the nearest window. I loved to watch the rain fall. Through the rain, I could see people and cats running for shelter.

Off in the distance, I see two figures. They come into view and I see they are a man and a woman. They both seemed upset. The man had stormed out of the house, occasionally looking back and shouting. The woman charges after him and begins pulling his arm, as if to get him back inside. The man snatches away from her, and she falls to the muddy ground. I am instantly intrigued. The man starts towards his car. The woman gets up and runs to him. As he is reaching into his car, the woman jumps onto his back. He throws her off and she falls onto the concrete.

I watch in shock as the man points a gun to the woman on the ground. He pulls the trigger. the woman goes limp. The heavy rain washes her blood into the storm drain. The man slowly brings the gun to his side, as he looks around suspiciously. His head turns from left to right until his eyes met mine. My eyes widen and tears begin to fall. he walks quickly in my direction. I panic. Suddenly, lightening strikes. Both he and the woman are gone, as if they were never there...
