A shiver ran up Woody’s spine as he hurried past the protesters and their openly carried guns. He was grateful to be able to feel that shiver, as it hadn’t been at all certain he would regain sensation in his legs, let alone walk again after a stray bullet from a random shooter had grazed his spinal cord three years ago. He’d been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I love the human interaction that takes place in this story. It’s so realistic! Moments such as these bring people together, and it seems like these characters’ paths were meant to intersect in this way.
What a great story! Yes to not being shot and No to Guns. I do find it sad that the US had subverted our constitutional rights in this way. I choose to be shot over shooting 🙏☹️
Excellent story, Dascha. Most shooter stories aren’t told with the deeply personal part - nor a quote from Andy Borowitz. I’ve been reading you for a few years but never subscribed. Today I am. Thank you for all the reading enjoyment. I’ve had a rough time, especially in getting back to my fiction writing. But today I’m breaking through another barrier. You make a difference in peoples lives.
Fear and guns are not good companions, both reactive.
Oops, was looking at the most recent so this is my third!! Just dawned on me to check the bottom 🤣
Hmm, I wrote a response but it disappeared. I, too, pray for kindness to win the day, toward each other and the earth. 🌻
I also pray for sanity to win the day. 🙏

I appreciated the humanness of this story. It was very well written and I like to think the couple got together in the end.

I keep coming back to God’s will be done. In the end, that’s all that matters and God being taken out of popular culture is the main problem!
