David: All Oracles Are Bastards

I didn’t believe the old gypsy woman. Truth to tell, I didn’t understand her. It wasn’t just the accent, either. As far as I knew, I would never have cause to miss her.

A few years later, things went bad between us. Between her infidelity and my suspicion over our son’s paternity, it got pretty crazy pretty quick. We dragged each other through court and the mud for years.

I can’t believe she got everything.

I finally understand the gypsy’s words as I lay there, smoke rising from the barrel, looking through the sight at the hole in the door.

I may have phrased it poorly. Think sniper.
