How close? Another pound on the Garand's trigger, maybe just a half.

Killing Richard McCarthy couldn't have hurt, and it might have helped. Killing McCarthy might have saved them all. - Dreamcatcher (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] It became their motto, and Jonesy couldn't for the life of him remember which of them started saying it first. Payback's a bitch, that was his. - Dreamcatcher (SSDD, prologue) [Books (First Lines)] It's so dark that for awhile--just how long I don't know--I think I'm still unconscious. - Everything's Eventual (Autopsy Room Four (1st of 14 short stories)) [Books (First Lines)] "Daddy, I'm tired," the little girl in the red pants and the green blouse said fretfully.
