Death is a part of life; that’s the way life goes and it’s something we can’t control. But it’s how each of us will die that remains unknown. We all want to grow old and die in our sleep. That’s the way it should be. But we live in a world filled with so much evil that we just never know how we’ll die. It could be today, it could be tomorrow—it could be now as you’re reading this.
We never truly know what one is thinking. Someone could be watching a horror movie and think that they could do the same thing, only better. Someone could be filled with so much jealousy that they would rather see you dead than see you with anyone else. These eight 911 calls are shocking and are filled with fear. We grow up thinking that only strangers could do us harm, never do we think that the ones who could kill us are the ones we love the most.
