Job #3 - Literature Connections

His hallucination reminded me of a time when I was playing an air soft war with some of my friends and my brother. While I was hiding behind a wall thinking of something daring to do to help win the war when when I felt a stunning blow to the back of my neck. (No joke!) I didn't pass out or anything, thankfully. It turns out that a 0.2g air soft BB (a pretty heavy bullet) fired from a sniper rifle slammed into the back of my neck traveling at a speed of 550 FPS (feet per second) at nearly point blank range.

    Wow, that's crazy. It's sort of also like how it might of happened for Fahrquhar who was about to sabotage the bridge. Because out of nowhere he is attacked and taken prisoner. Sort of like you where. =)

    For a second, I couldn't figure out what happened or what hit me.

 Doubtless, despite his suffering, he had fallen asleep while walking, for now he sees another scene—perhaps he has merely recovered from a delirium. He stands at the gate of his own home. All is as he left it, and all bright and beautiful in the morning sunshine. He must have traveled the entire night. As he pushes open the gate and passes up the wide white walk, he sees a flutter of female garments; his wife, looking fresh and cool and sweet, steps down from the veranda to meet him. At the bottom of the steps she stands waiting, with a smile of ineffable joy, an attitude of matchless grace and dignity. Ah, how beautiful she is! He springs forwards with extended arms. As he is about to clasp her he feels a stunning blow upon the back of the neck; a blinding white light blazes all about him with a sound like the shock of a cannon—then all is darkness and silence! Peyton Fahrquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl ...
