Horror Revisited
Armed assailants gave Barney Joseph Jr what his father never received, a second chance at life. Last night around 8:30 pm, two masked men entered BJ’s Drug, 450 Stanley Street. A minute later, without incident the pair made off with close to $400.
Though having a pistol handy, the local shopkeeper choose not to employ it. When asked why he made the decision he replied, “…I’d rather part with my money than my life.” A solemn reminder of Joseph’s father, Barney Joseph Sr., who lost his life at that very store 25 years earlier. The senior Joseph murdered resisting a similar robbery.
One Response to “Horror Revisited”
“Assailants” suggests BJ was beaten. Do you know that? At this point we only know they’re robbers.
I like that you are going for the “different” and taking chances in your leads. You just need to be careful with making inferences. Stick to what you know.
