A Hero’s Entrance
I wrote this idea in 2002; it’s the sort of thing that would have gone over well right after September 11, or Columbine:
A rampaging criminal attacks a woman who calls on Jesus to protect her. “You believe in Jesus, huh?” the criminal mocks. “So where’s your God now?” He kicks her down, cocks his gun, and aims it at her. Just then, a machine gun toting hero appears out of the smoke and taps the criminal on the shoulder. “Right here, motherfucker.”
