Chapter 54

Not one, but two shots went right through his left shoulder, sending him down to the floor almost instantly. I didn’t make a target before releasing the shots, as I had acted out of impulse. But I was lucky I didn’t hit his most vital organ which was his heart as I still have questions to ask him.

I still have the pistol pointed in his direction, but the trembling of my hands only worsened. It was almost like I have no candid reaction to what I have just done even though I had no choice but to do so. It was a pure act of self-defense, but who would want to hear that?

He was still alive, that, I could tell as his groans filled the air. The look of surprise that flashed on his face when he sat up to realize he was bleeding profusely was something I have no explanation for. I’m sure he couldn’t believe that a supposed regular gun with regular bullets would affect him, but he would be more surprised to know it was not.
