LUKE
Boom!
The ground beneath me trembles as a bomb explodes, sending a
cloud of acrid smoke hurtling toward me. I signal to my cameraman,
Paul, to capture the chaos unfolding before us. The cries of the nearby crowd
grow louder, drowning out my words.
Paul strains to hear me over the deafening shouts of the protesters. I lead
the way through the throng of bodies, pushing and shoving through the chaos.
We need to find a spot where we can see what’s happening, but the sea of
people makes it impossible to move. The tension in the air is palpable, like a
storm brewing, ready to unleash its fury.
The protesters’ cries grow louder, turning into a deafening roar. They
chant, “Stop the Fighting!” and “Don’t stay quiet!” I catch a glimpse of a
nearby protester’s sign, painted in red, bearing the same words.
The crowd grows more frenzied with each passing moment, pushing and
shoving to get closer to the action. Another explosion rocks the ground, this
time farther away. I can’t tell if it’s the police using smoke bombs to disperse
the crowd or something else entirely. But one thing is certain, this protest is
rapidly spiraling out of control.
I hear the screams of panic nearby, growing louder and closer. People are
running in all directions, trampling those unable to get out of the way. It’s
dangerous.
Damn. What’s happening?
Paul and I are standing on the side of the road, somewhat out of the way,
when I spot a large rock in a flower bed. I climb on top of it to see if the
added height might help me understand where the screams are coming from.
We can’t miss this opportunity. As a journalist at the New York Daily
Publishing, I need content for the main article to be published tomorrow.
I stand on the tips of my toes, stretching all six feet two inches of my
height. Paul is next to me, also trying to stretch.
I turn and yell to him, “Do you see anything?”
He shakes his head.
Movement in the distance sticks out from the frantic crowd and catches
my eye. “It looks like it’s coming from there!” I point in the direction of the
noise. “Let’s move!” I take a step forward to descend from the rock and find
myself flattened on the pavement.
I hear more shots around me, and it feels as though time has nearly
stopped. Everything moves slower, and the air is thicker. Breathing is harder.
Then it hits me, pain coming from my shoulder.
I don’t understand what’s happening. My vision turns blurry, and I
struggle to stay conscious. Paul appears in front of me, a worried expression
on his face.
“Don’t move,” he says. “It will be all right. Everything will be all right.”
He looks at my shoulder, hesitates for a moment, then places both his hands
around my shoulder and presses.
