The Express Aisle (100 Words or less) - One Bullet

It only takes one bullet to end an entire world.  A world full of thought, promise, and wonder. 

A lifetime of experiences and knowledge dribbles away across the weather-scarred pavement, slipping between chewed up bubblegum and castaway cigarettes.
