The Last Run

This is a little something I wrote about my final day as a cop after 20 years of chasing bad guys.

"It was a day of mixed emotions. The excitement of leaving, and the sadness of leaving. I was going crazy inside when I was turning in my equipment, then again when I gave up my guns. Yesterday morning was a long drive from home to the station, knowing I was turning my unit over. As I turned the last corner to the station, I flipped on the lights and siren and made one last run. No one saw it. It was only two blocks and was only at 25mph, but I loved it. It was the best run ever."
