What Breaks My Heart
: As He Lays There by fm wright
Dribble Flash Fiction contest entry
Artwork by Renate-Bertodi at FanArtReview.com

He lays with his face directed towards the ground. Blood is pooling all around him.

He tried to get away but bullets found him anyhow.

From the distance the sirens, to him, mourn with a woman's wail. As he closes his eyes he wonders if he is going to die.

Author Notes
A microscopic look at aftermath of a victim of a shooting. Appreciation goes out to Renate-Bertodi for use of the artwork. I do realize it foes not depict word for word, however this drawing was as close as I could find to convey the essence of my little story.
