Just had to leave another comment on your image Laurie. I am just so impressed with the way you used the hands shaking in fear, the shattered glass fragments and the rectangular pieces of the car windows--not filling the whole frame of the image. Still just stunned. --skunk

You've certainly shared your pain, fear and terror in this very well done image. The shattered glass conveys the sense of sound in a big way.

OMG Laurie, this sends chills up and down my spine. It is so vivid I can almost hear the horrible sounds. I'm so sorry you experienced such a horrendous trauma. The image is incredibly scary and moving. ~Meg

Can "feel" the shattering of your life. The lack of horizontal lines convey your loss of security and the multiple hands and viewpoints your shock and fear. Not a pleasant memory, but a very powerful picture. Thank you for sharing this. ~ PaulJSvBFCM

It happened - I was 24, 3 kids and divorced from the prick in Daytona Beach. He had been stalking me but I thought he was out of town - Christmas eve I had nothing for the kids - a neighbor man I knew offered to take me for a tree - The ex must have been lurking cause he flew by the car out of nowhere and pumped it full of bullets -
Then his family bailed him out and the police said they could not protect me or anyone - until it was happening - I ran - back to Jersey where my mother was. and started to support myself and the kids - but you stay scared - especially if I saw a car with Florida plates!!!

Ye gods! what a story! And so very convincing! Did it happen, or is it a story?
