had come to my support, stood puff

the projectiles, when bullet struck
him just above the temple. He leaned
against the parapet. his arms crossed
behind him. his head bent slightly
forward. From the wound the blood
sushes out, describing a para boia
like wine through a gimlet-hole in
the cashl. The head drops further and
further forward, then the body. then,
all at once, he drops.
