“And yet the bullet went astray, as the boys, in horror, watched and saw, the policeman rise smiling as she quietly spoke: “you forgot to compute in gravity. You see my head is not as it appears, it lacks the height you gave it, the dead night light waves respond differently when losing their glow, I’m really two inches shorter”. “Then one boy bravely walked to the officer, and shook her hand most gamely, he said aloud so all could hear, “it wasn’t your height I miscalculated, indeed, I loaded my gun with reversing direction. You see I was trying to end my own life, but not let any one know it, but the angle of my trajectory went directly into the ground! So you and I are both alive, though I am not sure what life is anyway, but I definitely need to brush up on my math for I had forgotten about the hypotenuse.” They shook hands and promised to write but they didn’t, and all three left that place quietly, the gun lay in the dirt in the darkness, waiting for better equations.
