Care-Bear
Two men came into our house that morning at about 9:30.
They asked my mom where the safe was. When she wouldn’t tell them they pointed a gun at her head. My mom yelled for me and the man who wasn’t holding my mom down came upstairs. I was brushing my teeth and listening to my iPod. The man grabbed me and before I had a chance to scream gagged me. Not that screaming would have worked; we were at least five miles from our neighbors.
He brought me downstairs and tied me to a chair across the room from my mother.
Then the men asked my mom where the safe was and she still refused to answer so the man shot her.
Right in front of me.
I watched my mother die.
When the shot went off it was really loud and a woman driving by stopped and pulled into our driveway. The two men bolted out of the house, got in an old beat-up car, and drove away. The woman ran inside, untied me, and took out my gag. I started crying and the woman followed my eyes and saw my mother. She called 911 and they rushed over but couldn’t save her.
It was too late.
