TODAY
Today is my birthday.
My father gave me my first gun,
Actually, it was a pistol.
It was black.
It contained only one bullet.
The bullet was silver.
Today, I brought my pistol to church.
I’m going to use it today.
Nothing happened, so not today.
Tomorrow I’ll use it.
Today, I brought my pistol to the store.
I’m going to use it today.
Nothing happened, so not today.
Tomorrow I’ll use it.
Today I brought my pistol to school.
I’m going to use it today.
Something happened, so “yes” today.
Today someone will die.
A kid bullied me today.
A teacher yelled at me today.
The principal expelled me today.
My father gave me my first gun,
Actually, it was a pistol.
It was black
It now contained no bullet.
The bullet was silver.
