Vomit

No winners in Russian Roulette

The only bullet
was in my hand

 

so imagine
my surprise when,

 

after spinning
the chamber
and squeezing
the trigger,

 

everyone else’s screams
were drowned out

 

by the sound
that preceded
heaven erupting
and the deluge
hitting the wall
of our makeshift
hell.

 

I will never forget the cop
that ran back out of
the abandoned mobile home
in order to let us watch
him vomit.

Even the most hardened, seasoned hero's take a dive out the back, this is so raw and stomach churning, I love it's real effect on my senses, albeit difficult to see, hear and smell. This happened with my sisters second husband, it was horrendous for her, well, all of us. You've conveyed it ...almost too well.

This is a true event from my teenage years.

This leaves such an impression. There's no beating around the bush, no extra details, just the raw scene being painted in one's mind. Very nicely done.

This reminds me of a write I did about a woman putting a bullet through her brain after years of abuse and about the cop who found her.. It's raw and intense and that's why I like it, because real people make choices like this daily..x
