[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Ten -
The heart rate trebles.

Nine -
Breath quickens and becomes shallow.

Eight -
Pupils dilate with the exhilaration.

Seven -
Right thumb twitches as it hovers over the trigger switch.

Six –
The ghost of a smile comes to rest on his lips.

Five –
A quick glance round verifies their position is secure.

Four –
A brief mental check to reconfirm the placement of charges.

Three –
A long, deep breath to control his heat rate.

Two –
Eyes close in a slow blink.

One –
Thumb presses down.

BOOOOOOOM !!!

The ghost smile is usurped by a grin.

“Enjoy that, Tovarisch?”

“Da.”
