The Bullet

This story struck me as a really sad, but a very expressful piece of writing. The whole situation was a shock to me, I thought it was going to be about a man frustrated in a line at a bank or with his life, not that he was going to be shot in the head. I think it was trying to portray a message that his life had become too complicated, almost like he started to analyze everything too much, and had forgotten the simpleness of his life, and his loved ones. I felt he had a lot of anger built up inside, and in a way took it out on the man with the pistol. Never had I read writing so detailed where something can happen in a split second. The writer imagined, and could only guess what it would feel like for a bullet to go through your head. No one will ever know if you think of memories that for some odd reason pop into your mind when something drastic is happening. It seemed to me everything that was really important and that he really cared about crossed his mind, like the reasons he loved his wife, his daughter, his childhood memories, once again the simpleness that makes life enjoyable was the last thing that crossed his mind, and in my opionion should be.
