Let Freedom Ring With A Shotgun Blast Novels & Stories

We faced each other as dad and Mr Chrysantos announced our alliance and the rings were brought foward. Julius slid the ring on my finger while holding my hand and I had to admit the ring was beautiful. I held his ring in my right hand while my left supported his hand. I looked from the ring to him then to the reason I was doing this. Taking a deep breath I slid the ring unto his finger and the room erupted into cheers then a gunshot was heard and a loud ringing noise came soon after. Everyone was running up and down as the room turned into chaos. I couldn't see anyone around me but all the men had brought out their guns and circled dad, Julius and Mr Chrysantos.

It also knows the sound of automatic rifles being racked before bullets fly past our heads. With precious cargo and selective mutism at best, I buck against the hands trying to scurry me along as I strap the munchkin to his Dad’s chest. Leave it to the witch to know when his curse is in full effect. As I hear orders being barked around the corner, Nicky’s latest ringtone on the new burner fires off, giving away our position. As the formerly fun and relaxing chorus of “everybody was kung-fu fighting….” goes off in my pocket.

In a desperate attempt, Noah makes a shooting attempt after evading the two guards and the ring headed to the pole. —5 seconds left and Langston makes the Golden Crows last shooting attempt! The ring continued to fly straight to the pole. My heart raced in anticipation. Please score! —and blocked! Blue Ravens saves the ring from their pole! Three seconds left and the ring came back flying after the Blocker's save, but it came flying straight to my direction above the pole. I could make a grab for it, but even if I get the ring, there's no time left to advance to the enemy's shooting fence, much less evade the guards and aim.

The ring bearer handed over the rings to the priest who laid his blessings on it before giving it to Jeremy. He took the ring and looked me in the eyes, “Will you be my wife, Ivana Alex?* As if I could say no. Nodding my head reluctantly, I stretched forth my finger for him to insert the ring and get this over with as it was getting boring already. Just before he could slip the ring into the fourth finger on my left hand, the sound of a gunshot was aimed at him. The bullet made contact with the ring, sending it flying in the air.

Free from these chains that shackle me. The bang is so loud it feels like the world shatters. My eyes snap open in an instant. For a second, everything freezes. Then it’s all complete chaos. Screaming. Gunfire. People diving beneath tables and overturning chairs, running in every direction as more bullets zip by and nail a few other innocent bystanders. Blood spatters everywhere, just like I imagined it would during the ceremony. Leonardo shoves me hard to the ground as a second, louder crack, rips through the air closer to us.

Julius slid the ring on my finger while holding my hand and I had to admit the ring was beautiful. I held his ring in my right hand while my left supported his hand. I looked from the ring to him then to the reason I was doing this. Taking a deep breath I slid the ring unto his finger and the room erupted into cheers then a gunshot was heard and a loud ringing noise came soon after.

I release the bolt and it snaps right back into place. Now with the gun assembled, I load the bullets into the magazine and load it into the gun. The second it’s in and ready to go the blindfold is pulled off of my head using the fishing wire. I take the gun and point and aim at the target down the end of the arena as I get my eyes to adjust to the change in lighting. A large red sheet is pulled off my target and for a split second, I freeze when the target is revealed to be a woman who appears to be in her seventies.

"I may have just the thing you need." He searches for something momentarily, then brings out a black velvet display case with three rings attached. "The first ring shoots out a precise laser that can mutilate any target. The second ring, transforms into a small knife. The third ring is very similar to the second one, however the tip of the blade is laced with a powerful paralytic. Temporarily paralyzing any attackers after contact." "The last one is exactly what I'm looking for." "Great it comes in a bunch of different designs. It's available with a simple stud, or a rose, or a star."

Her teeth bit down hard against her finger. Pick up, Reginald. Help her one more time. Just one more time… Before the ringing stopped, before the call connected, a sudden gunshot rang out across the sky. Bang. Distant, yet crystal clear. Above the prison, the sky stretched endlessly blue, the clouds so white they hurt the eyes. A flock of sparrows startled into flight, beating their wings as they scattered into the air.
