just hang out there. That's if you like." Tasha thought that was a great idea. She purchased her ticket to see her movie and walked inside. She saw that Shrek the Third was playing so she slipped in to that theater. Her friend was right. There wasn't a soul in the theaters. So she took a seat in the dead center. The movie had already started. So she sat laughing at some of the scenes and then she started getting bored because where's the fun in seeing a movie by yourself. She ended taking a nap. Tasha did not realize that she had over slept. She was awakened by the movie previews and a stiff neck. She looked at her watch 5:17pm' "Dammit" she said as she checked her purse and her pockets for everything. Nothing was missing.
She saw a pair of shadows on the movie screen. She stared at the screen it looked like a game of tug-o-war and then turned to look at the projector room and saw what looked like two guys fighting. She could not see too clearly because of the bright light of the movie projector. She wanted to leave was probably waiting on her. But she felt so compelled to see what happened up there. She saw someone draw a gun. Tasha fumbled with her purse looking for her cell phone. Just as she pulled it out a gun shot rang. She squinted her eyes and the gun was pointed at the movie theater. She looked around and then things began to get a little hazy. She felt a warm sharp (violent) pain in her left side. She dropped her purse and felt her shirt which was now drenched in blood, in her mind she could not believe it she looked at her hand and saw her blood glistening. She uncontrollably fell to her knees and breathed what would be her last breath.
