I stuck my finger in the new gunshot hole in the wall It was still hot, and the gunpowder still lingered in the air I was still numb, unfeeling, fingers tingling, heart stopped I can't rightly explain the feeling, but it was weird, uncanny I remember when I heard the gunshot this morning, I looked at my mom, and I stood frozen, cold, gone, nothingness Expressionless, completely numb, listening for a sound Besides the ringing of the blast in my hollow ear drums
Everyone is okay. It was an accident. A close call, but someone could have died today. And for all I knew, it that moment, someone had.
