vacant eyes as flat as the lake in July
reversal of fortunes he says
I do not question his motives
for pointing the gun at me
thinking I have more than he has
in my pocket sits a quarter
two dimes and three pennies
two maxed out credit cards
and a half eaten candy cane
leftover from Christmas
I wish I had more to give him
he looks lean and hungry
an old newspaper blows by us
a moment captured in slow motion
headlines covered in mud
it might be about us standing here
who knows what fortunes await
I hand him the contents of my pockets
he starts to laugh,
smiles at me with uneven teeth
as he turns the gun on himself
leaves me standing in his blood
looking guilty for not giving him enough

woh! this is . . . hang on, let me find the word - erm, 'gritty'? No? 'powerful'? perhaps, 'realistically vivid'.
That's two words, but hell - you deserve them, man.
Was standin there, blood-spattered, with you. |

Gobsmacked.......There is no one who can tell a story like you. How anyone could read this and not leave a comment is beyond me. Spellbinding, intense, overwhelming write.
Roses at your feet for this.
