The ringing in my ears was so loud, I could barely make out the words; “IT WAS JUST A PRANK!” My heart raced as I looked around, only to see a group of teenagers laughing hysterically, their phones out recording the entire ordeal. That’s when it hit me – I had just shot an innocent person. My vision blurred as I stumbled backwards, my hands shaking. The knife that had been wielded towards me was nothing more than a cheap prop, and the person holding it was just an actor. The laughter of those teens echoed down the empty alley, haunting me with each step as I walked away in shame.
