smoke suffocated the room
a mix of gunpowder and tobacco

chief knelt down over one of the three
he skipped the first after seeing the bullet-filled-chest
then the second after not finding his head...
but finally stopped on the third. the last.
face blown off
shotgun
point blank
skin up
across
skull
brain matter
torn vision-specimens
torn jaw
pearly whites
FLASH of the camera
chief pulls a pad from his pocket
back left
and a pen from another
front left on jacket
and meets the them both to inscribe a name
the chief wrote it blindly
his vision corroded by the puffs of his cig-
[ -arette, -ar, -a-weed... ]
the first
and the puffs cleared and he checked his handwriting
