Lights. Camera. Action. Boom. One shot, that's all it takes to take a life, but mine? One minute I'm looking at the lights of cameras and the press secretary then I hear a "Boom! Boom!" people screaming, chaos all around me, and pain, so much pain surging through my body. Everything became fuzzy, and it all seemed so distant and unreal. All that I could actually tell that was real was the pain. My gaurds were rushing towards me as people scream away. Other people were up in my face with cameras. The gaurds rushed me to the limousine. I coughed, sperting blood onto my hand. Soon I realized that I was in an E.R. room. I then laughed to the doctors and said "I hope you all are republicans." "today, Mr.President,we're all republicans," they responded. Everything then started becoming fuzzy and before I knew it, I blacked out.
'beep, beep, beep.' I slowely opened my eyes. Around me was white walls, and flowers, lots and lots of flowers. I then heard the door open. I looked to see Nancy, tears flowing down her soft cheeks. "honey, I forgot to duck," I laughed. She then ran beside my bed, her whimpering eckoing through the small room. Then a nurse came in and said "you're a lucky one Reagan . That bullet just missed an inch from your heart." I then realized how lucky I really was. God must have spared my life, and so I can do greater things.

Hello, Abarham Lincoln here
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this, tears poured down my face. How lucky you were to survive a gunshot to your chest. I was shot in the back of the neck, I was put into a coma instantly and rushed across the street to someones house where they lied me on the bed vertical because I was to tall to fit horizontally. I wish you the best
