Name: Elizabeth Johnson

TESTIMONY (Recorded September 2057)
"I was shot twice. Once in the leg, once in the shoulder. I fell immediately. The pain was unbelievable, but I stayed quiet. I stayed still. I could hear people screaming. Children crying. More gunshots.
I played dead. Blood pooling under me. I was terrified they'd shoot anyone who moved. So I didn't move. I barely breathed.
When the shooting stopped, I heard Isabella Jean's voice. She was walking through the bodies. I heard her boots on the pavement. She walked right past me. If she'd noticed I was breathing, she would have finished the job.
I waited until Authority medics arrived. Only then did I let myself cry out. They were shocked I'd survived. One medic told me later: 'Most of those wounds were kill shots. You're lucky the shooter's aim was off on you.'
I have permanent nerve damage. I can't use my right arm normally anymore. But I'm alive. Nineteen people aren't. I survived to tell their story."
