Hands at 10 and 2

[Cita]

She swallowed her gun.

I repeat the phrase over and over as I drive down the interstate, and indeed it is a bad day, the kind that when I say, "I don't feel good," those closest to me know what I mean.

Swallowing my gun sounds like an option, only, like I said, I am driving down the interstate and there are a lot of trucks and pot holes so I don't have enough hands to reach into the door pocket for mine, much less hold it awkwardly while I swallow.

Hands at 10 and 2, and all that.

That is what people would say, those I would leave behind, "She swallowed her gun."

It wouldn't hurt... I know that, but I need to hear your voice saying, "Please don't leave me."

Your words are poetic even in prose. I wish I could have met you at HoW. :)

Please don't leave me.

So.  I am thinking about swallowing a gun, and I am also thinking that it might not be as hard to swallow as some other things can be.  Better to swallow the gun and leave than to swallow the truth (or the lie) and stay?  Interesting and disturbing, too.  I like it.
