#WritcoStoryPrompt7
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 kick starting his adrinaline for fight or flight as he stood their frozen in place as she pretended to be hurt as she slowly and "painfully" picked up the contents of her purse.

when she turned her head to the side a little bit taking a glance at what he was doing she noticed that he was frozen as he fought with himself inside gis mind never being confeonted with such a situation before he was lost.

after realizing that he was scared frozen she stopped her act and quickly got up ready to rob him and shoot if he didn't comply with her demands. when he started to comeback to his senses after taking some long deep breaks to calm down and actually think this through he noticed that she was getting prepared to rob or shoot him and was about to freeze again when she pointed the gun at his head demanding money.

he just turned like he was gonna go through his backpack then ran in a zig-zag formation as she continuously shot at him not wanting her failed attempt to rob him get to the police. as he ran zigzagging to not get shot by the desperate woman he hid behind a bush when he saw a little kid playing in the playground across from him.

The woman from before started to walk up the path, the playground in the middle of them as he looked side to side trying to find the kids parents but not seeing them so he quickly ran grabbed the kid and hide behind another bush that was closer to where the kid was as he told the little girl to be quiet so they don't get found.

After he calmed her down he took out his phone and called the cops telling them that some woman is trying to kill him after she couldn't rob him and that he's at a playground hiding behind a bush protecting a little girl so that she doesn't get caught in the crossfire.

When the woman was about to check the Bush they were hiding in the police showed up and tackles her down and handcuffed her so they can take her to jail for attempted robbery, murder, and child endangerment. After the cops took her away they located the little girl's parents and was informed on the danger she was in and how she survived.

After the parents thanked him and tried to reward him he went home thanking that he and that little girl get to live longer.
