Bullet pierces the skull

Particles of bone scatter

There was no push or pull

But that didn't seem to matter

Blood pouring like a river

Plume of smoke from my nostrils

Still standing, such a marvel

Liquid drips to fingertips

As I heard the trigger click

You could hear the skin split

Unsettled and confused

Blood puddling from you

Beckoning to certain doom

You were unbothered...

I wonder if the bullet faltered...
