Vengeance

Carl witnesses the death of loved ones and takes the matter into his own hands. Is it an act of retribution or murder in cold blood?

"No! Don't hurt him!" His mother screamed.
"Everyone stay where you are!" The armed gunman ordered. His voice was stern and forceful.
Carl's father gestured for everyone to stay where they were and to not move. The two gunmen ignored her cries as they grabbed her husband forcefully by the arm and threw him to the ground.
Carl's dog, who was named Rocky, leaped onto one of the armed gunman and began to attack. The armed gunman took a few steps back before he knocked the attack dog to the ground. The dog was dazed and ran away in fear.
Carl became upset and frustrated. He knew something had to be done. He ran towards the armed gunman determined to end their miserable lives, but he was held back by his mother who was always overly protective of her child. He watched helplessly as his father was shot point blank in the head. Brain matter splattering on the carpet from the high powered pistol.
The two gunman then came after his mother. His mother ordered him to go to his room and escape out the back window. He did what he was told to do, but instead of hiding he ran to his father room and grabbed the pistol that was kept in a gun safe. He knew the combination and grabbed the pistol with not only vengeance, but with a sense of purpose.
He ran back down and saw the two gunman laugh as they executed his mother in front of his eyes. Enraged, he loaded the magazine into the pistol, aimed, and squeezed the trigger. The first gunman was down in a flash, and the second was just as easy.
Carl knew what he needed to do that day. Survive and escape off this insurrectionist controlled world.
