Timing is everything

Author's Notes: I apologize for the list overload, but please bear with me (feel free to send angry emails and fling inanimate objects) until I catch up. Keep in mind that internet is a two hour bus ride away at the moment and I have to boil my water before it's safe to drink. Gotta love rural Ecuador!

Story Notes:


0:00:00 BANG

0:00:25 Oh my God! Be all right. Please be all right.

1:33:41 Im so sorry. Please be all right, just please. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Except bullets. From my gun. My hand. And bullet wounds in your best friend. Does just surviving that make you stronger? I dont feel stronger. I dont think I feel much of anything right now. Is that shock? Maybe stronger will show up later. Maybe.

2:15:10 Im in a hospital chapel talking to myself. Damn you, Benny. This is all your fault.

2:17:36 Im sorry, Benny. I didnt mean that. I didnt mean any of this. You know that right? Right?

3:50:03 How long can this possibly take? Doesnt anybody know anything? Hes my best friend, dammit! Im the only family hes got.

5:44:57 Everyones telling me to go home. Even Inspector Thatcher showed up. Turnbull got me some coffee and a sandwich. I think I thanked him. Did I thank him? I should thank him.

7:21:46 Theres some blood on my cuff. Its not coming out. What takes off blood? Bleach? Soda water? Who am I kidding? Ill never wear this suit again.

8:00:01 Finally.
