The Game of Life and Death



It all happened so fast. I was running through a dark alleyway running away from this gang who I owned $250 000 through gambling debt. My 10 days to pay them back was up. So they wanted to kill me. It all started at the end of the ten days. I went to the local church to use a room to pray about me not dying. When I got to the church I went into a little private room. The room was dark with one window at the back which let in the only light in the room. I stepped in the room. The room was very dark and dusty. I walked over to the cross on the wall and knelt down and started to pray. I prayed that I wouldn't die and that they wouldn't kill my family and friends. When I finished my praying I left the little room and church and stepped outside. It was quite a humid day with not a cloud in the sky. I walked over to the McDonalds to get something to eat. But then I saw them. I saw them through the windows of the McDonalds. It was the gang. I slowly backed away and tried to walk away as if a wasn’t there but I was too late. One of them recognised me and yelled out to the other members of the gang to run after me. As soon as I heard that I bolted for my live. I had never run so fast in my life. All these mixed emotions were running through my head worry, anger, sadness but most of all I was scared, really scared. I was only 24 I didn't want to die so young and I didn't want to die like this. I didn't even know where I was going but all knew is that I to run fast. I sharply veered left into a alleyway. That was the stupidest thing I could do. That mistake cost me my life. I ran and ran until I reached a dead end. The dead end had a 5 metre wall that was all smooth cinderblock. I turned around and the last thing I saw was the leader of the gang point the pistol and my head and then pull the trigger.
