The Crow: Wait and Bleed
Life
"How many times more will you see the full moon? How many times will you remember a certain afternoon in your childhood that without it, your entire life will be meaningless. Maybe five or six times more. We take everything for granted."

The guns were pointed at their heads. Emily lay on the floor crying and Joseph was stood up against the wall, a gun to his temple. The man holding the gun taunted Joseph and teased him. "If you move mother fucker, you and the bitch get it." And Joseph wept. He studied the room and he saw the corpses of his children laying there. Bullet wholes decorated their skulls. And he wept more.
Emily was on the brink of death as she cried and coughed blood. The men that had killed and destroyed his family were rampaging through the house. They were part of a major gang. But it was a random killing. An innocent family, slaughtered. One woman was dying, four kids dead, and a fire of anger grew within one man's soul. "Please leave us alone." Emily cried out.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH!!!" the man screamed as he ran from Joseph and kicked her in the face. She fell to her back and he pointed the gun at her. "Prepare to say a big what's up to God, bitch!" He cocked the gun.
"NOOOOO!!!!!" Joseph said as he ran across the room and tackled the man. With every bit of strength he had he put rage into his fists. He swung and he swung, until he heard the crack. The gun cracked as it fired. And he felt a sharp sting in his back. He fell backwards with his last breath he spoke the word "Emily." And he began to loose the ability to speak. As his vision slowly died he saw as they put a gun to Emily's head and pulled the trigger. He watched as his love died. And everything went black.
