Ah Meng, Ah Beng and I were caught for selling drugs. We were sentenced to death.
That night, Ah Meng came up with a plan. He told us that the firing squad were afraid of natural disasters.So he would cause them to panic, and escape in the confusion.
The next morning, Ah Meng was led to the wall. The firing squad was lined up and the Captain commanded, "Ready.. Aim..", but before he could complete, Ah Meng shouted, " Earthquake!! Earthquake!" The firing squad panicked and Ah Meng made his escape.
Later, the firing squad took Ah Beng out and the firing squad were ready. The captain commanded, "Ready... Aim..." This time Ah Beng shouted. " Flood! Flood!!" Again, the firing squad panicked and this time, Ah Beng made his escape.
Observing all this, I began to get the idea. "It's important to get the timing right."
Soon, it was my turn. "Timing, that's the key.." I kept saying to himself. The firing squad lined up in front of me. The captain started, "Ready..."
"Timing," I thought to myself
"Aim..."
"Okay," I thought, and shouted, " FIRE!!! FIRE!!! "
