Comments on 'Bullets and Death'The first officer turned back towards the doorway, Simon's voice from the hall shocking him into action. The second officer, frightened and anxious, squeezed on the trigger of his gun. Blake's bullet-ridden body fell to the ground, blood gushing from the various holes. "Damn," Blake gasped, as life slipped out of his shell.
"BLAKE!" Simon screamed from the hallway, tears dripping down his face. They had barely known each other, and yet — in many ways — Blake had been his best friend, his closest ally.
"Containment! Containment!" shouted the Man In Black, as jolted by these events as the officers. And, as Simon could see in the man's eyes, scared of what might happen next. _And_, Simon thought, _he should be._
Simon sniffled, trying to dry his eyes. "Blake once killed an archangel with his bare hands," he said. Simon could feel a fire burning deep in him, begging to escape. "And he had no where near the _frakkin_ power I do." Simon's eyes exploded into balls of fire. "You're all going to _gorram_ pay now."2007-10-31T20:31:20Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/12423Comment on Bullets and Death<p>I’m just very sad with the possibility of Blake’s death, even though it doesn’t seem he’ll stay dead.<br />~ <br />Or, maybe death doesn’t mean “unable to participate” . . .</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12423?basename=205162007-10-31T20:31:20ZAlexa ♥http://ficlets.com/authors/alexa1018Comment on Bullets and Death<p>Blake turns into a glowy-blue ghost who explains that when he told Simon that Azrael killed his father, it <em>was</em> true, “from a certain point of view”?</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12423?basename=204722007-10-31T16:36:25ZHowie Amourscowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_396Comment on Bullets and Death<p>The government could make Blake into a robotic police officer who fights crime in the near future. I don’t think that has been done yet.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12423?basename=204522007-10-31T14:41:11ZHobo Beard Bobhttp://ficlets.com/authors/hobo_beard_bobComment on Bullets and Death<p>Oh, I know! Simon could revive him with his tears! ‘Cause true love never dies! : )<br />Very surprising twist. And now Simon gets to go <em>Dark Phoenix</em>!?

Not the kind of thing an experienced magician would let happen, but Simon is young and under a bit of stress here.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12423?basename=204422007-10-31T12:41:29ZNickhttp://ficlets.com/authors/white1975Comment on Bullets and Death<p>Sorry to do two in a row again, but if anyone was going to kill Blake, it was me. But is he really dead? Perhaps some perceptive reader might realize a way out that was mentioned in the first ficlet serial of Simon & Blake. Hmmm…</p>
<p>(And if anyone even thinks of just having Simon resurrect him, I’m… well… there’s really nothing I can do, but I won’t be pleased.)</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12423?basename=204412007-10-31T12:35:00ZNickhttp://ficlets.com/authors/white1975
