The Duel

Weapons chosen

   Bullets go in

  (Slow motion)

   Fates frozen

That is how we see it. Things often happen so fast. We replay them in slow motion. The shootout at the OK Corral, for one. Great write!

Those slow-motion duels to the death can be awfully chilling, eh? Thanks, Kim

I like to see that coward Putin go up against Tom in a duel. My money is on Tom, for the hate he has for Putin. I would risk my life to dual him without thinking...

I hear you, Michael, and yet though I'm not a betting man, I myself would never underestimate the wily Russian... I'd just rather see Tom take his potshots at Vladimir on Poetry Soup... ~ Just sayin'
