Rainy evening. Cold and gloomy. Like any other day in my heart and mind.
Another day of getting off from a job I hate, stopping at this awful store, buying crap I don’t want or need, then going home to a wife and daughter, both who’ve grown strange and unpleasant to me.
I’m tired.
As I’m leaving the store, a young man wearing a long coat is walking in. He says to me, “You’re a lucky man.”
Offended, I mean to tell him “Fuck off,” but he’s moving too fast.
Seconds later, I hear gunshots and screams from inside the store.
Spot-on!
Great twist.
A reminder we are more fortunate than we know. Well done.
Chilling.
A reminder to stop taking life for granted. Great lead-in to your powerful ending.

Chilling twist! So much packed in 101 words!
