The End by Jr Herman Grobler

are
close.
    “You better get out here; I will only count
to three,” Roy said, yelling out each word.
    Maggie staring through a gap in the dirty
curtains, as still as possible just to make sure he don’t see any
movement even though it’s pretty distant and he possibly won’t see
that far, she stares at the three girls all of them seem pretty
young around the ages of twenty maybe highest twenty-five it’s hard
to say from this distance, Maggie has thick tears as she already
decided that she will do absolutely nothing to compromise their
location.
    Roy removes the tape from one girl’s mouth
letting her scream as much as she wants leaving her for a minute or
two; she starts to cry holding her hands in front of her face
covering the tears.
    Roy laughs out loud with his little new plan
for a countdown.
    “You see this countdown will be a little
different!” catching his breath fast.
    “With each countdown, I will shoot one in the
freaking head!” Roy breaths fast and realize he needs to stop
smoking.
    Maggie is horrified, thinking twice of her
decision she sits down against the wall knowing that there really
isn’t much she could do, her sister is injured badly and helping
them surly there might be something she can do, but there might be
no escape afterwards not with her sister in such a bad condition,
she gets up and looks at the girl.
    “One,” As Roy shouts it out while pulling the
trigger.
    It was so fast a little bit of blood rushing
down her face while she drops down to the ground with some small
movements more like twitching a few seconds. Maggie knows she is
dead and that’s just muscle spasms, Maggie feels incredibly bad and
starts to cry, she sits against the wall next to the window.
    Roy removes the tape from the next girl, she
is crying out for help even louder.
    “Help me please!” The girl cried.
    “Please help me!” as she cries
relentlessly.
    “Please, please don’t do this I will do
anything you want me to” Begging out to Roy even though she already
noticed the smile through the dirt on his face that he won’t spare
her no matter what she does.
    “Two,” Roy said followed by a loud
gunshot.
    The girl moans in pain as she struggle to
scream, blood running from her head.
    “Oh damn, sorry my aim was a little out!” As
he laughs out loud, with a face impression that just shows the
world he loves doing this.
    “Am I really going to let her suffer like
this?” As he starts to think that they are long gone or she has a
mind of steel he isn’t sure, suffering has always helped in the
past to lure his victims out.
    He aims at her back and pulls the trigger
twice; she stops moaning as her suffering ends, he looks back at
the last girl.
    “What shall we do with you now?” Roy asked
with a scary voice.
    The girl keeps silent with not a single tear
in her eyes, she already cut the rope keeping her hands together,
she is just patiently waiting for him to get closer, and it’s a
scary thought as he can shoot her from where he stands, however,
she knows he is a pretty stupid guy that like to play with his
victims.
    Roy walks closer laughing at her, his
laughter stops and he goes blank as a sharp object enters his cheek
knocking against his teeth it drives shivers of pain as his teeth
are rotten on the sides, before he can even aim the gun the girl
stabs him in the chest. She grabs the gun before he falls down
laying there on the hot tar road, Roy wants to get up but the pain
of his teeth keeps him down on the ground holding his mouth tight,
he manage to get up, still applying pressure on his cheek, a little
in shock he sees the girl already in the distance running away.
    Slight moans come from Roy but not a word,
out of pure shock that a girl nearly killed him he rushes to the
loaded car and drives of, reaching the barricades he can see that
things are changing, these monsters got a lot more, ever since
until now they always just responded to fast movements, not loud
noises, instantly thinking
