The Killer feels his hair cling to his skin as his body skips behind Pike. He sees the life of his crew creep down the arm onto him.
"I knew you, so I'm going to give you a rare chance." Pike pauses as he throws the Killer across the deck. He draws from his belt and shows his captive. "Six places to find death." He sits before lone survivor and raises his hand to his head. "Me first."

"Your turn."
The Killer takes the weight into his hands.
"You can try just pointing at me and pulling the trigger a couple times." Pike spoke with no expression. "I don't mind counting it as a turn; it doesn't seem to work."
Slowly the Killer lifts and considers his options.

"So we play then."

The Killer's hand is still heavy. He reaches out for the burden, and sets it towards himself.

Pike doesn't hesitate.

Pike grins. "That's five. One place left. The deciding round as it were."
The Killer is steady now. His motion is smooth, but Pike's hand interrupts.
"Though there is an important question to be asked." Carefully, he releases the Killer. "Are you the type of person to hope that the bullet doesn't fire, or are you the type of person to think about what will happen when that's the case?"

It's time to sink
A look comes to my eyes
I finally breath
shifting to my side
The prophet reads
hope is come alive
The look will speak
to my inner mind
I'm half asleep
and wholehearted instead
so cautiously
I drift on off to bed
Now I can see
there's no more need to die
I cling to the
throne that's built inside
Changing
Though it will drip
the main thing
is to realize that Man is aging
It's part of growing old
A food for a perfect home
And I fight myself sometimes
Break rank from other sides
Plan learning and taste
for how it will stay
alive
