SKIRMISHER

I asked him what happened.
“Shot,” he said. “Shot in the
face.” He motioned a gun
at close range being shot
directly into his face.So what happened? I asked.
Was it an accident, or did
someone mean to shoot you?”I did it myself. Tried to kill
myself.”

You did?
“Yeah.”

So tell me, how did it feel,
after you shot yourself in the
face - and you came to -
and realized you were not
dead?

“Agony. The worst agony
ever.”

Man.
“Yeah.”

What kind of gun?
“30-aught-six.”
