VIIb

Death by shotgun is instantaneous or prolonged, depending on karma, and she knew from experience that anything dependent on karma, in her case anyway, was a sure no-no. Not to mention that she would lose her deposit for messing up the room regardless the outcome. See, people tend to instinctively pull the gun away from their head as they fire, leaving 'hesitation marks' on the wall behind them.

She imagined herself continually missing her own head, causing great damage to the room and living to tell the tale and pay for it too. Her biggest concern, of which she learned from a Judas Priest "Behind the Music" installment, was that it was possible to miss your brain entirely and just blow your face off, leaving you alive and kicking yet badly deformed like that kid who listened to a Priest album one too many times and quite understandably, tried to shoot himself in the head.
