A Sacrifice

Sometimes life is so out of hand that you really cannot predict what will happen and how happenings will turn out. Things and people many times are not what and how they seem. And there are times when you can see the real side of them in a very harsh way. We were sitting on a bench and peacefully talking about life. The shadows were playing their games closer time by time. The street went empty and then an old man appeared as almost out of nowhere. He sat next to us and he was pretty old and looked miserable in an old grey coat. Talks were pleasant as he had nice tone of voice, but then he asked a question if we know what will happen now. It seemed like a really weird question as we do not know what will happen in the moment that has not come. He touched his pocked and then I noticed that there was something small inside, but I did not think that it could be something dangerous. We simply waited and in the next second a knife opened in his arm and he plunge a knife in my friend...
