The Hold Up (Free verse) by luzrheroguy
One shot fired,
Toward the ceiling
They said "this is a hold up,
So everyone to the floor"
And he thought to himself
I don't do this anymore
But knee jerk reactions die hard
Mask now across his face
Trusty yellow lighter in his left hand
And can of hair spray in his right
A quick burst to the nearest hands
The gun echos across the floor
Hands burnt and empty, swings
To a catch, drag, shoulder to the ribs
Flip, Smack, Unconscious
A nearby brick, hurtled next
To the second soon to be smoking barrel
Deadly messenger caught mid-air, and a thud
Weapon and rock hitting ground
Sharper minded, we have a runner
He makes it three feet from the door
Before he hears the confident words,
"Stop, or I shoot"
Defeated by a his own sword,
Hands raise into air
