May 1st, 2023 it had been a few years since I had been shot in the head. A second chance at life had been given and I had taken it. Yet the nightmares of my near-death experience were far from over. To make matters worse, I had a hole in my head which gave me tremendous migraines. An overdose of medication would do the trick, sometimes. But of course, the side effects would surely kill me.
Cirrhosis or liver disease would surely make for a trip to the local cemetery. No! How could a man who survived a bullet to the head be done in by pills? I thought to myself. My poor wife so supportive, patient, and beautiful. She's an angel that surely came down from heaven to be with me. Please, don't misunderstand, we live a fairly decent life; a big house in the suburbs, late model import car, and enough money in the bank to keep us home and away from a nine to five. Not to mention travel to distant lands at least twice a year. And all thanks to that mysterious case that appeared out of nowhere when I was originally shot.
I guess I shouldn't complain but I'm human after all; never satisfied always wanting more. I couldn't help it but I really wanted to know how and why the events of that faithful day had occurred. Most of all I wanted to know-how in the hell I had gotten caught up in the crossfire of the whole ordeal. The police had no answers only an arrest that would close the case in my face.
