Chester's life begins to flash before his eyes, leading up to him getting a bullet through his arm, ending his career early.
But things take a turn for the better when Chester is shipped stateside to receive therapy on his arm. Things really brighten up when Chester begins therapy, wherein he meets his assigned therapist, Michael Shinoda. Will Chester have found His angel? Or will that theory have failed?

Sorry I haven't finished Deadpan yet, but I ran into a writer's block and came out of it with this story in mind. It's going to be pretty short, but I can actually finish this one instead of leaving it incomplete.
