“What It’s Like To Hit an Old Man in the Head With a Gun”
“It’s like anything else. You ever check out a library book? Or buy something at a store? Or jump off some steps into a lake? It’s just something that happens in time and space; you do it and then it’s done. Except in this specific instance, you happen to have a crumpled person at your feet getting smears of blood on the dusty linoleum floor. But it’s not like you’ve changed. You’re still you, in your same body. You can still spell. The basic society of your brain is still the same. You’re breathing. People do things. Things happen all the time.” Patterns of Paper Monsters
