Bullet in Snow: Childhood Shootout
- As a 12‑year‑old fascinated by abandoned burned‑out sports cars, the narrator sneaks onto a track where a distant pickup truck approaches before a series of gunshots erupts.
- The narrator is hit in the leg by a .22 caliber bullet, describing the wound as a warm “hot pocket” that quickly turns into a painful puncture, leaving the bullet lodged rather than exiting.
