Gripping and chilling description of it all, and I absolutely love this one resolute, stalwart guy hanging on long enough to do something productive. Killer ending to a taut, exciting ficlet.

Great continuation. Neat to see that you added it to Port Gun Control.
Loved the line “in an perfect, symmetrical explosion of light” really painted a picture in my mind.

THX and Kev both got it right. This is a fantastic entry into the series. Loving it more and more, man.

I had no idea a single ficlet could be so intense and exciting! Awesomeness!
