Inked Caffeine

I was just your typical Starbucks barista without an interesting bone in my body. I liked to keep my head down and do my best to cruise through life uninterrupted although my bright red hair made it almost impossible. Things took an interesting turn when I met Jimmy an artist from the tattoo parlour down the street. Living and working in Hollywood California I met a lot of intriguing characters but no one as intriguing as him. He brought a new light to my life that I didnt know I had let alone one that I needed.My past wasnt a great one but I got out and made a new life for myself. And now it felt like my future was looking better with Jimmy in it. I felt like life was finally worth living until... everywhere you looked something was on fire. The screaming was enough to make you go deaf and the scent of blood made you gag. My body was screaming in pain and I couldnt stop choking on all the smoke in the air. My lungs felt tight and when I looked up I couldnt decide if it was snowing or raining ashes. People were firing guns chaotically and I had never run so fast in my entire life. Jimmy jumped up to the roof of a parked car and I was quick to follow bending over to catch my breath.Now where? I panted.
