046. Realization (Writer's choice)
Word count: 131
John Lennon will never know who fired the shot that killed him. He will feel the bullets burning and shattering through his skin but he will never hear the sound of the gun. Yoko’s scream will fill his ears as his body falls to the concrete floor and, while he uselessly tries to crawl away, he will think of Sean’s hand holding tightly his forefinger. He will also remember Julia’s sweet smile and the way her strawberry blonde hair used to dance freely in the wind. And, with a last painful attempt to breathe before falling unconscious, he will think about Paul, about how he deeply misses the sound of his voice; and he will wonder, for the last time, why people always realize things when it’s already too late.
