Get well soon
That was all she could say
to the frail
fragile person
standing before the thin reflective coating
that looked perfectly whole
in her absence
For one breath
nothing moved
Then
a bullet tore through the coating above her
She gasped
Stumbled
Ducked
Another shot struck the wall behind her
She ran out of the flat towards the lift
hearing two men crash through her door
Their footsteps pounded closer
The lift doors began to close
She threw herself inside
The doors slammed shut
as a hand struck the narrowing gap
She was already moving
towards the parking lot
but the danger had followed her
Before she could make it out
she saw something shocking
something she never expected
Her husbands car
He was inside
on a call
looking flustered
He had told her he was out of town
for some meetings
