lying on the third floor of a squat. hes tripping. and he wants to know.
how do you blow someone up. kill them. the other man tells him. all about
explosives. home-made. how to make them. discussing car bombs. his mother.
but no. theyll know who. but he wants to blow someone up. random person.
no. make it political. conversation changes. mugging people. but he doesnt
want to kill them. so whack them hard on the head. tranquilizer dart.
electric stun. more discussion. as the other man places his hand in the
flame. keeps it there until it begins to blacken. burning himself. "dont
just play with fire, fuck with it." and they are both psychotic. yet highly
intelligent. and tomorrow the other man will be back in the army. explosives
engineer. and next week someone will be dead. because. he wants to blow
someone up. just once.
