LOL!! LOL!! That is soooo funny! I love the line:
with the exit wound providing a portal to transport his brains out...
That is such a clever line, and hilarious. And then the ending, only you could write that. You are a master at these little stories. I'll have to go and catch up with some others. Loved this, Bill!! Sandra xx

Hahahaha, I wish I had a six. I can't stop laughing. Oh Bill, where the heck do you get it from? Don't answer, I don't wanna know. It's just so funny. Now we know. Don't we? Someone else was there. Ulla:)))

    Yes, Ulla. I assume a gunshot in the brain would result in a cease firing.

    Too right!

I hate to laugh at such a violent scene. But the image of someone firing a gun into his mouth twice makes me wonder if he had a problem locating his brain.

    I?m pretty sure the inspector is hinting that it?s a double murder.

Well, I don't really know how the bullet eater could have fired two bullets into his own mouth, but I'm sure stranger things have happened to really bad shots. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    The popular theory is that he had help.

    Yes, two bullets is a dead giveaway. :-)

Highly motivated indeed! It sounds like this case is far from over. They'd better be looking for a third party. Hard to see how either man could have managed this. That was a lot of blood. I don't see how the men could have been seated like that if one of them did the shooting. Very intriguing and leads to much speculation about what could have happened. judi

    I?m sure the inspector was implying a double murder with his comment.
reply by judiverse on 09-Jun-2023
    It does sound like both were murdered. judi

Hmm, how do we know the one with the gun shot the
other one, Bill? You did a good job making readers think
about the circumstances. What it seemed like may not be
the way it happened.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Hello... a wee plot flaw, as I see it...

"Two men sat precariously on a davenport, both had their brains splattered on the wall behind them..."

Um, they are dead, so instead I might say they "are precariously posed on a davenport"... I realize that there is a word count so I would omit "both had", yes?

Otherwise, grim but enjoyable...? (LOL)

Unh unh. I do not think so. No way am I or any other man I know is able to shoot himself in the mouth twice. Rookie needs to brush up on the impossible, and the improbable.

    I think of the the story where a man was going to kill his wife and then himself, but started with himself.

Ha ha ha, which of course is impossible, so there is no suicide involved here, just plain old murder, execution style by the looks of it. A fun post Bill, always inventive and interesting, love Dolly x

    Thank you, Dolly. It pleases me to no end when I can entertain a writer of your caliber with one of these vignettes.

    You are always very entertaining Bill and I appreciate your kind words too x x x

Maybe the one with the gun in his mouth fired and the bullet went out and through the other man's head. Two with one bullet. Interesting and puzzling scenario.

    Perhaps that?s how it happened.
