Among the Living
““Lil’ friend of mine I like to call ‘Peace.’ ‘Cause when people see it, they want to be left in peace.”
He unzips the bag and takes out a giant revolver. The barrel is nearly eight inches long and shines like fire in the light of her old lamps. It’s getting dark out, but she doesn’t want to turn on the bright overhead lights just yet; she is enjoying Bob’s company and the intimate ambiance of her otherwise dull living room. He hefts the thing, sights down the barrel at the picture of a drunken ...clown on her wall. It is truly the most hideous thing she has ever owned, and yet she refuses to get rid of it.
“Shit, that thing is huge.”
“This is a .357 magnum, and it will blow your head clean off … almost as well as the .44 that Dirty Harry carries,” he says, trying to emphasize his words with squinted eyes and a raspy voice.
“Bob, if you seriously need to take a crap, go to your apartment.” She laughs at his face. It looks like he is dealing with a case of constipation.MoreLess
