THE RIFLE -- Horror Short
 

The walk home from high school was long; the nervousness mounted high in the pit of his stomach ? the girl standing next to him was popular. She had light blond hair and a nice tight smile. She was slender and beautiful.

?Here it is,? he says, pointing at the old vintage rifle that rested above the mantle, ?my great-grandfather?s inheritance.? The gun was mahogany brown, with a golden signature near the lever-action that read: General Robert E. Lee.

?This is it? The one from your report??

?Yes? he said.

She reached up and took a hold of the gun, bringing it down slowly.

He smiled. He moved closer, looking over her shoulder and read the name aloud to her, ?General Robert E. Lee.?

He expected her to awe, but she didn?t. Why? Why weren?t they the same? All the nights alone in bed thinking that she was perfect for him and shared the same interests?? What about the rifle, the all-so-fascinating rifle?

He reached over her slender shoulder to take the rifle from her. But he moved too aggressively.

She screamed.

He missed and grabbed her right breast instead of the rifle.

She turned violently to escape him, to duck, still holding the gun.

He was still after the rifle.

She shot him.

"It is said that "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one." Some of us might even have two (opinions that is). And while we support and encourage one's opinions, however, we do not support nor encourage assholes to post.

We, as members of the website and speaking for Rage (the persona), are lazy. We don't like being bothered by trivial matters like moderation or mediation. This is an adult website, in a matter of speaking, therefore there are two, and only two, rules:

1) Do Not post, with malevolent intent, anything that may disrupt the (otherwise lack of) integrity of the webisite, www.(DELETED).com, or its members.
2) "Because you're pissed of at Moses, doesn't mean you're pissed off at all Jews," is the philosophy we write by here. Be mindful of the target you attack - an unbridled license to scandalize everyone and everything will leave you with everything to defend and nothing to support (except in the case of Wal-Mart, to which you are freely entitled to write about slandarously).

I would think you might do good first of all to not promote your message board here, since it is against GFY rules, and secondly if you dont want assholes posting to your board then you may want to take that link out of your sig as fast as you can. Because you have just immersed yourself in asshole central and put a big giant sign up welcoming them all to your home (on the web).

Not a bad story, but I am trying to figure out how a shell inside a firle like that lasted that long.

If it was a black powder gun, why was there a primer in it?

I know that it is fantsy, but..
