I’ve blathered on at various points about these very topics; but given that the cumulative articulation of points between these two posts surpasses all attempts I’ve made to succinctly make my point, I’m going to get the hell out of the way. So, herewith, I bid you, “Go over there and read that shit,” all [...]
The machined hole stared at my left eye from only inches away. Flickering sodium orange glow of a streetlight caught on large rain drops gliding on oiled gun metal. I felt a rain drop on my lips.
“I’ll ask you ten questions,” said the wielder. “Then I’ll pull the trigger.”
