The old woman dropped her purse, spilling it's contents all over the sidewalk. He rushed ahead to help her stopping short when he saw the gun under the purse

Their eyes lock together as he spots the gun.

He back peddles very cautiously into the
crowd going to and fro about their
daily business oblivious, to any wrong doing going on. Unsure what to do next.
Sensing that, his life could be in danger
he sure doesn't want to die today!.

Is this woman deranged? His heart pounding in his chest from fear. What
could an old woman be doing with a
gun? as he envisioned the whole of his
life flash before him, it's like something
out of a nightmare.

He has opened his mouth to scream from the top of his voice and to warn
the public but, he realised; he was so
petrified not a word came out of his
mouth in fact he froze.

As the old woman kept her eyes on him
she hurriedly packed her belongings back
into her bag and stood there staring at
him as she disappears into the
crowd never to be seened again.

As he stood there rooted to the spot.

He understood the meaning of
life, he felt very relieved.
