There is a dim light over the horizon, exotic and red like a jungle.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hhjnQRhQ6
Karen isn't above admiring it, she enjoys nature. She stares at it with contempt, though. It is such a fleeting sight, she thinks, and always will be. Nothing can stop a sunset from going away…and the beauties last no more than an hour.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI5G04eHk6
Regardless, she walks towards it. The dirt road is stretching far, and she has a long way to go to get to her boyfriend's house, but it hasn't stopped her before. He owns a home further down the way, lined with ditches full of pesticides and waste from his vast fields of apples. She's felt disdain towards it before, and has always expressed it, but whoever cares anymore? He says global warming is inevitable, and will happen regardless of pollution and environmental poisoning but she doesn't believe that.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09hiM8kZqS
Nobody is here to stop the monstrosity. Not so personally, at least, and Karen is a journalist. She takes things personally. It's a dangerous match, and she agrees now. They are too different, and this walk is to make that statement.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfPdTipWRO
"Excuse me…can you help?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLppcqIHU67
Karen blinks and looks to her right where that voice came from. She stops walking and trails over to the edge, and is…ambiguously surprised to see a young homeless man lying on the side of a ditch looking quite miserable. "Are you alright?" she questions him.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNvTN1uZ2V
He rubs his eyes and hums thoughtfully. "I've no clue," he replies dryly. "'ve only got a horrible headache and hurt ankle. Care to help me?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgMiqJeKSj
She eyes him carefully. "How do I know you won't kill or rape me?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS78QT7sAO
"Oh, please…why would I?" he mutters. "Murder's boring…and rape is repulsive. Can't you just help a struggling bloke?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ2KavYeIm
"A bloke? Are you from the UK?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5reK98Y79
He sighs and looks up at her with hazel blue eyes that shine slightly more green in light of the sunset. "I'm stuck in a ditch with a twisted ankle, and you're worried about my nationality?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1B2rWxG1f
She smiles a little. "Sorry," she apologizes. "I'm just…a little on edge."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77SeylgAGq
He makes a sound of discontent, and rolls his eyes. "Fine, I'll just walk all by myself then," he grumbles sarcastically as he slowly sits up with a loud and dramatic groan.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KtzGv50uK
Karen can't stop a little chuckle as she leans over the edge and reaches out to help him. "Here," she says, "let me help you wake up."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrEonDSsmT
He looks at her strangely. "…What?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtheIYwaOQf
"Hm?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEURC2sKcVp
"What did you just say?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfZopmr2FY
"Um…let me help you get up," she repeats.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvKiTgDEaj
"…Oh, now you're helping," he mutters, but he pushes himself out a little as he gets pulled onto the side of the road.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw017t5bMr4
She almost immediately gasps and jumps in shock and fear at the sight of his ankle, but his hand keeps an astute grip on her arm and she can't back away. His ankle is bloodied, and blue and purple and swollen quite horribly. But that isn't what alarms her to such a state. There is a long and ugly gash that ripped through his same leg, and it is still bleeding…quite heavily.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL3B4lVAFG
"I know, right?" He speaks as if the revelation hadn't changed anything. "A bit tedious, really. I'll have to go to a hospital…say, do you have a phone, miss?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyayNPpFsH
She looks at him with wide brown eyes, chest heaving as she panted out her shock. "Y-ye—yeah, yeah. Yeah. I-I do…I do…oh, my god…what, what happened?" she stammers out.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbyzB3rSpu
He smiles at her, his eyes watchful as she stares at the wound. "Nothing," he says. "It's just a way to do this."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4J4DAOZW3
"Do wh—do what?" Karen asks skittishly as she finally manages to drag her eyes away from the horror and to him.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDawBeZ0V6
Her eyes don't meet those gentle and sarcastic hazel blue orbs she saw earlier. Instead, they meet the single barrel of a hand gun, and she doesn't have a second longer to process it before her vision blackens as a result of a projectile ripping through her skull.
