David Johnson David Johnson was a lovely man with a beautiful family. He went to church every week no matter what and helped all his neighbors. He had 2 children named Jake and Jessica and a wife named Carol. It was a gloomy Saturday afternoon and the family had started doing their chores around the house after a nice morning at church. The neighborhood was quiet as gray clouds began to drift in from the west. Jake and Jessica were inside cleaning their rooms while Carol was delicately watering her orchids that had bloomed. David was just finishing mowing the lawn when the wind started howling. He told Carol to go inside while he went to the beach for his weekly clean-up project. Carol pleaded for him to stay at home saying that there was supposed to be a terrible storm coming, but David still went to his truck and drove to the beach. when he finally arrived it was pouring and yet he still decided that he could go on with his plans. He got out of his truck and walked to the shore. He was amazed to find that the beach had barely any trash on it.Still, he walked across the beach picking up the cans and bottles left in the sand. As the rain began to subside, David saw a man coming from the other end of the beach. David waved politely at the mysterious man and then went back to his work. 15 minutes later, he turned around to see if the man was still there and he saw that the man was still there, but now he was closer. David began to get nervous, but instead of leaving he found a corner of the beach covered in garbage. Now it had been about 45 minutes since David noticed the man so he turned once again to see. The man was now even closer but he had stopped walking. Since the man was so close, David could see his features. The man had a long knotted beard and a looked like he hadn't been groomed in some time. Then, David's eyes looked at the man's hands and saw a large rifle. By now, David was very scared and began to make his way back to his truck which was only about 20 feet away. Suddenly, he heard a gun shot and before David could take in what had happened, he fell to the ground bleeding heavily from the gun shot wound in his back. His head slammed against the pavement of the parking lot. The man with the rifle walked slowly back to where he came from with a slight smirk on his face. About an hour later, a neighbor of David as walking past the beach because Carol asked her to check on David. She yelled, "Hey David! Carol sent me to check up on you! You know how much of a worry...." She stopped in the middle of her sentence as she gazed upon the dead body of David laying in a pool of blood. She screamed and and called 911. David Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene and was brought to the morgue.The woman investigating David said he died from a shot to the heart. 3 weeks later Carol committed suicide by hanging herself and she wrote in the note," Now i shall be with David once more." The children were sent to live with their grandparents and were forever traumatized by the sight of both their mother and father dead.
