Shopkeeper:

  • Busy – Serving a customer
  • Shock – When I suddenly hear “Gun, Gun!”
  • Instinct – By instinct, I grab my shotgun from under the counter and shoot.

(Busy) I was concentrating on counting the change I had to give to the customer.

The customer told me that I gave home 50p extra back, I thanked him and took the money back.

I started to think about when my shift ends and going back home to tell my wife how boring my day was.

 

(Shock) At first I didn’t clearly he what was shouted, but it was definitely not positive as it was shouted in a desperate manner.

A second later, my brain registered what was shouted and I understood what was happened and I understood what was happening.

My heart suddenly started beating fast and my back started getting tingly. The adrenaline started running and I started to gradually get hotter and hotter.

 

(Instinct) All of a sudden, my arm has a mind of its own and reaches downwards towards my shotgun.

My brain is thinking of my family, but my arm is acting independently, bringing up the gun to the masked man.

My finger pulls the trigger, and everything seems to be in slow motion , I can see the shotgun shell slowly travelling towards the gunman. I get pushed back because  of the intense power of the gun, while I see him slowly drop down to the floor.
