Weapons

He was looking for his Christmas presents as he did every year.
His parents must have been on to him as they changed the hiding place every year, but now he'd found an interesting box. Interesting in that it was quite heavy and presumably contained a massive present for him.
It was on the top shelf of his father's wardrobe, hidden behind a pile of polo shirts and a couple of jumpers he never wore.
He placed it on the floor and opened it.
It was full of guns. There were seven in total. He took them all out and lined them up on the carpet.
He picked one up and pointed it at the mirror.
"Bang, bang!" he said and laughed.
He put it and the others back in the box, returned it to its wardrobe hiding place and resumed his Christmas gift hunt.

  1. This gave me a little chill --- and then a blessed relief --- and then a reflection on the whole situation. Excellent.
