Well it didn't do it for me, you went for a twist at the end but I don't think it worked. Some of the dialogue was a bit off as well.
Would someone really "Confirm" with a 7 year old what to have for dinner.

"With rifle in hand, they both head out." that just doesn't sound right.

There are more examples like that and also some typos.

"A blanket of snow covers the ground. Every few steps
reveals the rich soil underneath."

When there is a blanket of snow you see snow in footprints not soil.

"Gruesomely silent" ????

Would a 7 year old survive being shot in the head at pretty much point blank range?

No need for the "Moments Later"

Hallo Andy,
I'll endeavour to make corrections to the typos, always try my hardest to avoid them but oh well. As for the dinner thing, I believe lots of parents have asked their kids what they would want to eat for supper on some occasions. The bullet really didn't hit the boy but grazed him. Thanks for the read though.

Yes but how many would say:

"Ok, let me confirm with your brother."

It's not natural dialogue.
