Obeyi Caved: A Short Story

Decent Essays
Obeyi caved, "sir, Salim tried to force himself on that girl, I tried to stop him but. . ."

I did not want to hear the rest. My barrel's end turned to Salim and the rifle just started chewing every bullet on the belt. The sound of catridges hitting the floor was covered by the absolute thunder the gun made. The two men turned their faces away, the girls screamed endlessly as blood splattered everywhere. It lasted around half a minute and pieces of Salim's. flesh lay strewn around where he first fell.

I wiped blood splatter off my face, the girls stopped screaming, the boys avoided eye contact and I went back to my piece of rock. I bet someone out there must have heard the gunfire. The local police should arrive any minute but I did not care.
