It was a slight drizzle. The windshield wipers made their monotonous sound of Splish Splop splish splop with a squeaking sound they emit when the window's mostly dry..The hypnotic sound caused me to doze off. It was so peaceful, the jazz on the radio was Earl Klugh playing "My funny Valentine" when all of a sudden I heard these loud BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. It was a barrage of gunfire coming from big guns that seemed from the flash to be aimed directly at me. His jacket flew out from behind him as the bullets went through his body He dropped like a sack of potatoes in front of me. There was no doubt that he was dead before he hit the ground.

I knew they would not let me escape being a witness. I started the car and slid straight out waiting for another blast to come through my windshield and find it's mark...me.
