His luck ran out on the eighth, which snapped off about a half inch of his left pinky. My brother freaked and shot it with that Beretta 9mm he always carries. Probably saved himself a few fingers that way, but a turtle shell with two bullet holes in it has lousy acoustics.
This was both very tragic and quite hilarious at the same time. The whole story got me wondering if any of it was real. All in all, it was certainly interesting...great narrative writing
