| I Shot Her |
| by James Babbs |
| I had this huge crush on her
dreamed of kissing her she was a few years older than me and her brother was my age and he gave me the BB gun because I wanted to see how it felt she was standing a few feet away and I said hey look pointing the gun at her knowing that was something I wasn’t supposed to do the gun going off or maybe I hit the trigger and I shot her in the mouth throwing the gun down running over to her and asking her if she was okay watching the blood pouring out flowing down her chin and we took her inside running cold water over it from the faucet in the kitchen trying to stop the bleeding her head down in the sink but she ended up having to go to the hospital and get a couple of stitches but she said they left the BB in there and it would probably just dissolve and when she got her stitches out nobody knew the difference but every time I saw her smile I could always tell |
