“The grenade lay several feet beyond his grasp, like some dark and gleaming malignant fruit. The man who’d grabbed his right wrist still had hold of it and was applying traction sideways, at ninety degrees to Calvary’s own direction of movement. The man on his left was on his feet. Calvary pulled his right arm free and propelled himself a few inches closer to the grenade. The big man on his right, having abandoned his attempt to move Calvary away from the grenade, had turned and begun to run.... The man on the left, who began to flee immediately, had covered more ground and was launching himself into a dive, away from the explosion he knew was imminent. What happened next wasn’t immediately clear to Calvary. He found himself lying on his side with the man on his right now next to him, sprawled doll-like on his back. The right side of the man’s head was gone, and one of his arms splayed across Calvary’s waist in a grotesque parody of romantic attachment.MoreLessRead More Read Less
