Fröhliches Erwachen –
(Ein Drabble* von Merrill Lyew)
Die duftenden Blütenblätter schwebten in der Luft. Eigentlich war es einen Tick zu kalt für die sonnenverwöhnten Kalifornier.
Der Heckenschütze platzierte sich flach auf dem Dach des Hochhauses liegend, und brachte sein automatisches Gewehr in Position. Er hatte es aus dem Armory Depot gestohlen.
Konzentriert zielte er in Nicks Richtung. Nicks schneeweißes Hemd war platschnass vom Schweiß. Kniend fing er an, das Vaterunser zu beten, anstatt sich in Deckung zu bringen.
Sirenen von Polizeifahrzeugen heulten plötzlich laut auf.
Nick schlug die Augen auf und drückte auf den Knopf des Radioweckers.
Oh Amerika, diese elenden Amokläufer, murmelte Nick erleichtert zu sich.
