Shoot and Kill

 It was raining when I arrived my destination. While I waited for the rain to stopped, I was pondering whether what I will do is going to be good or not. I was craving for it since the first time I got a taste of it. I wanted to do it again.


When I cast my eyes towards the sky as if to look for an answer, a multitude of dragonflies were swirling and darting to and fro making criss crosses as if warning me not to proceed with my plan.


Looking down on the ground as to avoid the gloomy colour of the sky and the unwanted presence of the dragonflies, I started to walk towards my destination. It wasn't a heavy feeling as I was determined to try it once again. It was exhilarating the first time so doing it for the second or third is just to fulfill my longing to be more precise. 


It wasn't a long walk and though the path was bathed with colours and perfumed with dainty aroma, it didn't stop me on my track to fulfill my current wish. I was determined to do it with sweet revenge.


I passed by the rooster who gave me a wide eyed stare. It probably knew what I was thinking or hoping to do, but it didn't crack a single sound. 


The duck simply gave me a devilish grin as if approving my thoughts, "Oh yes, it's payback time, do what I wish and be happy without guilt."

So there I was, standing in front of him with piercing eyes with no exchange of words. I gave him the paper in exchange for a gun and "bang!", "bang!", "bang!" were heard within the surrounding areas.


It must be the sound of the bullet penetrating my subjects that alarmed the sheep to run towards their turf. There was stampeding sound of hooves and shrieks from people around. I stirred commotion yet I was happy, for my job was done. 


Finally, I got my coveted prize, a sheep doll. I just cannot explain the mere excitement when I hold that barrel and shot those wooden cats and sheep to my pleasure. If I can live there for a day, those figures wouldn't stand my battering.

I found a new haven to live, a new course to study, a new hobby to pursue, target shooting. Energizing!

    Hello Ric,

    First I have to google what saltik was. Ang alam ko lang kasing pantumba ng lata eh tsinelas, he,he,he, though I have never played that game either.

    Very relaxing indeed! Naiinis nga yung bantay kasi parang hindi na ako uuwi, ha,ha,ha.

    natry ko na din magpaputok... nanlambot ako at nanghina pagtapos ko magpaputok.... ang panget ko sumabi lilinawin ko nga ahahaha.

    Nagpaputok ako ng m16 nung ROTC namin sa Sta. Maria Bulacan kakaibang experience kaso lang that tim malabo na ang mata ko kaya kinakabahan ako kasi baka sa iba tumama ang bala kaya nanlalambot ako at nanghihina kasi baka mamaya may casualty dahil sa akin ahahaha....

    Ano ka ba Rix eh hindi naman ito book ni Glentot! Ha,ha,ha.
    Hindi ko nasubukan yan when I did ROTC but I did fire a real gun from a Red Cross Fair here in Bkk. Sobrang layo but when I got the card to check, aba, nakatama ako ng tatlo out of five, kaya naenganyo akong maghanap ng firing range. Here I come!

    Hello vhincent,

    Thanks for the visit. Napansin ko na ang mga Pino mabait sa kapwa pinoy pag nagkita sila outside the country.

    Kahit naman walang prize oks lang pero siyempre iba na yung may incentive. Cute naman din nung sheep doll. Sino kaya magbibigay sa aking ng giant bear, baka maubos barya ko, ha,ha,ha.

    Hi Ms. Joy,

    I wanted to write in different genre including narratives in suspense or comedic forms. I am constantly challenging myself when it comes to writing so that I grow. Thanks for the comment.

    Hello Josh,

    Maghanda ka at barilan ang next activity ng PBO, ha,ha,ha. I did the firing the first day I was there and got two out of seven. The second day, four out of seven. Kung nag try pa siguro ako, seven out of seven, yabang lungs, ha,ha,ha.
