Catastrophe

A short story about a robbery.

BANG! The sound of a pistol firing echoed through the deadly silent street. Everything beyond that point was a blur. Screams, a car racing away, police sirens wailing like a newborn baby. Reporters from every newspaper, news channel, and true crime podcast in the city swarmed around the crime scene. By 10:00 p.m., the only thing holding them back was caution tape and armed police officers. "This is Kelly Klarkson from Channel 6 news reporting live on a catastrophic crime scene. No statements have been released by police but we suspect this was an armed robbery, potentially an organized murder. We will keep you posted." Kelly's cameraman, Michael Smith, cut the camera.
