Gun Shots

 Our crazy neighbour has been shooting up the neighbourhood again, celebrating with his girlfriend. We could hear the loud music and then came the rifle shots.  5 very loud reports then 3 more and another three. A few minutes later another barrage. Very close by. 

There's that tremor of fear. Celebration?  Pot shots at goats?  Or someone on a rampage? 

This on the day when a shooter in Athens  received a life sentence for a similar 'celebratory' volley which took the life of an innocent child.  A stray bullet hit 11 year old Marios while he was enjoying  festivities at a school 2 kilometres away.

Bullets which go up must come down. Shooting in the air used to be a tradition at weddings and baptisms and this isn't the first time it has ended in tragedy. Years ago at a wedding in Crete it was the bride who died.

Here I go inside, close the door and hope it's not  a rampage.
