Variations on a Twist


"Ten minutes of terror" Mike says as he slaps a mosquito on his arm. "I got that from Brian forecasting what death would be like. You remember that gravel voice as he dragged on a cigarette. Well, I kind of like that expression to describe when we 'hit the wall'.
Then we both broke out laughing when we recall his last day on the planet. He was engaged in a number of conversations with imaginary people and flashed Paul the thumbs up sign, accompanied with a huge smile, seconds before he died. Apparently, terror isn't always necessary.
