My opponents hands,
shiny with sweat.
Anger filled eyes,
an accusing glare.
Time slows down,
ticking, softly turning.
The burnished metal,
a reflective death.
The smooth hammer,
slowly brought back.
The tightening fingers,
my singular event,
A soundless roar,
of eminent death.

I tried to capture the fear that someone would feel as they stared down the barrel of a gun.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
