Flash Prompt: Sing songy

My can't-get-enough-song lately is "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People.

Here's the first verse:

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dad's closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.

Write a 600-word or less flash about Robert's story: Who is he? Who is the "you" that he's coming for? Why is he doing that?
