The Blood You Own | A Short Story

There was shadow growing under the street light's, some droplets are falling down to the road from that shadow. In that flame light, he resembled the devil. There was a car parked on the driveway of a two-storied house. When the shadow reached near the car, someone turned on the light on the room at the top—near the balcony.

When the room lit, there was a reflection on the shadow's one side of the face, that revealed the eagle eyes. He was wearing a black coat, which's usually used when it's raining. The reflection on the coat made him more devilish.

He opened the trunk of the car and took something, it's a shotgun. He got inside the car and put the gun near. He was expecting something bad on the way. Before starting the car he looked at the room where there was light. A shadow of a woman came near the window. He started the car and drove away. The light went off on the room.

Now the car is parked near a restaurant, it's about nine at night, there are still people inside the restaurant. He went out of the car and took the shotgun with him hiding behind his back. He looked at both sides, there are no cops on the street. He entered the restaurant, there was a guy in the front section, he was dealing with the cash.

"Have you got any parcel service at this time?"
He asked in a hurry.

"Yes sir, what do you......????

Next moment there's a gunshot, He shot the cashier twice at his chest and ran towards his car. He entered the car and started driving away.

He looked through the mirror's behind him, no one's following. He took a turn to the right. In those eyes, we could see that there's something more he needed to do.

He returned to that storied house, he parked in the driveway and started walking towards the door. He knocked on the door.

He could hear footsteps reaching towards the door, the door opened. An old woman at her 60's opened the door

"Michael where have you been?" she asked with a little bit of curiosity.

"I've had some errands to run.where's Alice?" He asked looking towards the stairs.

"She went to sleep, the kids didn't have a plan to sleep, so they came to sleep with me." She replied.

"Ok then, I will go upstairs. Do I need to take the kids with me?.

"No... No... They just slept before a minute, I'll take care of them" she said that with a happy face.

"Always Take care of them". He said that and walked towards up, he entered the room on the left.

"Michael where have you been?" a woman asked that in a weeping voice in the next second he entered the room. He turned on the light, she was sitting in the bed and crying.

"To see your friend and her loving husband at the restaurant". Then he was searching for something in the drawer of the side table, he got and took that out. It's reflecting in the light, it's a knife.
