A second red-orange spearhead leaps straight at O'Shagginess. The whole world seems to stand still. Then the gun behind it crashes, and there's a cataclysm of pain all over him, and a shock goes through him as if he ran head-on into a stone wall. A voice from the car says blurred, while the ground rushes up to meet him, 'Finish him up, you guys! I'm getting, so I don't trust their looks no more, no matter how stiff they act!' ("Jane Brown's Body")
