And Death Trails............

A barrage of bullets ripped through her in quick succession, pummelling her.Blood sprayed as she fell face-down to the ground, pain searing through her in continuous bouts. She tried to scream but no sound. 'Was she going to die? Damn it ! She had tall dreams, she was going to be a Chief Justice, she was going to marry Obinna, her architect-to-be sweetheart and they were going to have lovely kids.
But the dreams faded beneath her hazy eyes as reality hit her, and she wept in her heart, For everything she had lost.
Obinna had shielded her as they fled the scene but the same bullets had riddled his virile body, he had fallen, his dreams too. Life was un-fair. Being an orphan, he only wanted to pay his way through school
In the throes of death, she saw the headline news:
ARMED ROBBERY OPERATION : A GANG OF SIX ---- INCLUDING A PREACHER'S DAUGHTER SHOT DEAD IN A DUEL WITH THE POLICE
Heat slowly escaped her body as she gasped in terror. She knew she was taking her last gulps of breath, 'Please I don't want to die, it was my first time........And she slipped into end-less oblivion.
