Gold light enveloped the land, setting the scene of a beautiful, innocent day at the park. Johnny C. stood by his lovely Irken wife, Mel, a short, radiant little woman with a pink bow tied lavishly around an antenna. They were a happy couple, lovely people. They always had guests, were nice to the homeless insane, and even made a decent amount of money to keep the home stable. People often said they were perfect. They had it made, and they made it themselves.
In her arms lay their beautiful baby girl, Tess. She was the love of their happily wedded lives. Their pride, their joy. They were the perfect little family, strolling through the amber glow of the day. Everyone was filled with such happiness. Families were bonding, passerby were passing by, and birds of all kinds were singing.
A sudden dark shadow, billowing toward them like smoke. A man. He had been lurking around for a while now. He had sometimes offered Johnny a smile, but they had never spoke. This is why Johnny hadn't reason to think poorly of him; he seemed an affable man at all interactions they had. But this day was like no other.
Jimmy was his name. He narrowed his eyes and let them pass over Mel, Johnny's beautiful wife he had cherished so much. Johnny smiled down at his daughter, oblivious to this. When his eyes came up, they met Jimmy's wandering eyes for a moment before the man's bulging eyes leered her up and down. Johnny's mouth contorted from a smile to a grimace in the time it took for the man to grab Mel's arm, dragging her off with him. Johnny, angry, ran after them. Jimmy simply smirked at him, before turning to the crowd of people and pointing, shouting at Johnny, "MURDERER! IT WAS HIM! SOMEONE TAKE HIM AWAY!" Johnny's eyes widened and his pupils shriveld as his arms were grabbed by two large men. Johnny shook. He had never murdered anyone. He wasn't the kind of person to want to harm anyone. He swung his legs wildly, trying to break free. "MEL!" Tears sprang to his eyes as he stared back his distraught wife, the cries of their baby girl filling the air.
