Oh my god...6th place?! Wow. I'm amazed, personally. Thanks for your comments, I like hearing it completely honest like that. I appreciate it Rev and Zaft!
@REV: To address your question with the gun he finds, you actually were right on top of your answer the whole time. That point in the story is meant to leave you questioning the result. I had intended to make this story much longer but, instead, found the prompt convenient and limited the story's length. Point being, this situation was intended to happen again with the crawling man being the victim, not Jake.
I hope that explains what I meant a bit more. I'll post the finished version once I get it all done, I do hope you'll read it.
