Whatever inkling of sanity existed within his head evaporated. In the next split seconds he tugs the firearm towards himself. He wouldn’t rise the firearm further than his chest before he fell to the dusty ground of the skeletal building, by sheer choice or by sheer force. Vision leered as his head hit hard and bounced. The steel helmet saved him from a cracked skull, that was, if he wasn’t already bitten by death elsewhere as he laid on the ground, chocking on ash and the insulting cyka stuck on his throat. He wasn’t sure yet if he had been shot or tackled — by him or another.
