Lit Devices story

One day, a boy by the name of Paul Jacobs was wandering through the streets of New York with no destination. He stumbled upon an old antique shop and decided to walk in. The little shop had everything from suits of armor to dead squirrel. There had only been one person working at the store that day so the store seemed pretty quiet and empty. Paul wandered around and spotted some old fashioned weapons, but one of them really caught his eye. It was an old shiny rifle, He presumed it was from the civil war. Paul decided to get it as a decoration for his house. He brought it to the cash register and  standing there was a very mysterious old man. Paul carelessly dropped the gun on to the counter and suddenly heard a very loud noise. BANG! The gun had fired right at the old man, someone foolishly had left the gun loaded. Shame flowed through his body, he was in so much shock and didn't know what to do. He decided to drag the body out back and hide it in the dumpster. He was a bullet running home in fear.

Paul decided to go to sleep and deal with it the next day. But he couldn't fall asleep thinking of the man, his skin as pale as the moon, and his cold lifeless eyes. Finally paul forced himself to sleep. The next day he woke up in terror. He decided to go back to the antique shop to see if anything happened and when he got there there was police tape and a bunch of police cars outside. He quickly ran away making sure nobody saw him. He went into a coffee shop in panic. When he went up to the counter to order something he was in shock. Standing there was the same old man he had shot in the antique shop. He didn't know how to react so he quickly got his coffee and left. About ten minutes after he got home he heard a knock on his door. Two police officers were standing there. Paul didn't know what to do. The police officers arrested paul and took him to the police station for questioning. They asked him what he was doing on the day the man was murdered. Paul lied to them and said he was home all day. The police kept paul in a cell for 2 weeks so he had time to think about the situation. The sell was old and disgusting infested with cockroaches and rats with cracked walls and a toilet out in the open. He decided that when he was put on trial he would say he had never even known the antique shop existed. A Police officer unlocked Paul’s cell and told him he would be meeting with his public defender. Paul walks into the room and see’s the old man sitting in a chair. The man greeted paul very nicely, and then pulled out a gun and shot him in the chest.
