Maybe not so quick but about on that order of shock – the style of shock able to make a man sit neck-deep in the state of stun. If sudden death is a...helicopter falling on you soon as you step out your door, I reckon Eugene’s case would be like hopping on a bus and waking up the next morning to find yourself waking up on a picnic table in a town you don’t know, hungover and tattered.

He lay next to me, and as the time passed I couldn't help noticing.
