The gun felt heavy in his hands. It wasn't heavy at all. But the weight of what it could do, what he was going to do, made it heavy. All he had to do was push back with his finger, pull the trigger, and his worries would be over. So why couldn't he do it?
He drew a breath, squinched up his eyes, and felt momentarily dizzy. Off balance. Eyes still squeezed shut, he felt a cool breeze flitter through his long, dirty hair. He cracked one eye open. And stumbled back, the gun dropping from his hands as he fought to hold himself upright.
A moment later, the last shreds of his sanity seeming to waft away on the breeze, something in his pocket buzzed. He reached for it, pulling the device out. He frowned at it as he read the message. Sliding the phone back in his pocket, he lurched for the gun, and started walking toward town.
