Frank was sitting at his cubicle doing his work. He was content with his job. The boss wasn't too bad, he always got his job done, and no one ever bothered him. He was going on 45 and had a loving wife. His 2 kids loved him and he loved them. Once in a while they would go to the movies and he would see their faces light up with excitment when it was that time. So what if he was too old for children of 8 and 6? It was a great life, and he enjoyed every second of it.
He sipped his coffee and saw that he was running low. He got up and walked past the cubicle of his friend Ted. He stopped in the entrance and leaned against the side.
"I'm getting some coffee," said Frank. "Want any?"
"No thanks," said Ted. "Just got some a few minutes ago."
Frank said ok, and walked on along. He hummed as he walked and arrived at the coffee machine. He grabbed the pot, poured, and walked back to his seat. He was walking past the elevators still humming his happy tune.
Suddenly, a shot fired out. Frank looked and ran for cover. Another shot fired and it hit Frank right in the side. He yelled in pain and fell over.
"They hit Frank!" screamed Susan. Everyone ran as fast as they could and evacuated the office in less than a minute.
The deer walked in holding his smoking rifle.
"Alright," he said to the other deer. "I got one"
"He's a beauty," it said back. They picked up their trophy and headed back home.
Frank's family was worried when he didn't come home that night. They just sat there, no one spoke. When it was time for bed, Mrs. Roberts tucked in her children and waited around some more.
After a few weeks, Mrs Roberts found a new mate and he moved in with the family. The children forgot about their old father, and life went on, just like they kne it had to. Other familys had been through it, so they would have to too.
THE END
Feel free to criticise.
