Judgement Day, by Fliss Zakaszewska

29/9/2017

 
The president of The-Land-of-the-Free shook hands with the dictator of the small, turbulent Asiatic country then they sat down to discuss State Matters.
 
Bang!  The president’s head exploded.  Bang!  Then the despot’s head, blood spatter everywhere.
 
Lars continued to look through the telescopic sights.  That felt sooooooooo good.  Two arse-holes in one.
 
He so wanted to do it again, relive the moment, but, no time.  The Anglo-Germanic summit was about to start and he had to take out those two women.  But temptation called.
 
Slowly, he turned his gun on himself and fired.  Bang!  The screen flickered.
 
‘RESTART, PLAYER ONE?’

Point well taken, even if a bit grizzly. Quite vivid imagery.

Thanks Bobby. With MS News threatening WW3, I felt chilly inspiration - and also made the resolve to bypass MS News channels in future!

There it is again: never play with guns!
