She gasped, taking in a breath as if to scream. &quot;I'm warning you. Don't do it,&quot; I said, through clenched teeth, pressing the gun harder against her back. She whimpered. I looked around, continuing to guide her towards a stand of trees. The park was mostly empty, except for a group of high school kids playing football and a few other pedestrians going about their own business -- all a good distance away. I was afforded some small comfort, knowing that to them I'd appear as nothing more than a devoted boyfriend with an arm around the woman he loved. _And_, I did love her. As we disappeared behind a large maple, I threw her to the ground and stood with the gun still poised in her direction. Tears streamed down her face as she looked up at me. &quot;James, why... why...&quot; she stuttered, her eyes wide with terror. &quot;Why what, Alicia? Why am I doing this? As if you didn't know.&quot; I paused to let my rage build. &quot;If I can't have you, then...&quot; &quot;_Cut!_&quot; The director suddenly screamed for about the hundreth time. 2008-06-15T14:02:19Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/31163 <p>Great job!</p> <p>Twists are so much fun!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/31163?basename=70947 2008-06-15T14:02:19Z OrangeOreos http://ficlets.com/authors/orangeoreos <p>Another twist.
