What’s this? I asked, fingering a bullet lying on the desk.
That’s a sniper bullet, he answered.
My name’s engraved on it.
Yes, it is.
What would happen if I took it?
I have a whole box in my room.
Damn. I wish I’d stolen it when I had the chance.

Um...was he planning to shoot you with it? Or perform sad private rituals over it and bury it in his backyard? Or maybe SHOOT YOU WITH IT?
I guess what I'm asking here is: sniper bullet aside, did he have a sniper gun?
It's always fun and games until someone gets an eye shot out.
Priya, I have no idea if he had access to a gun or not, and, in fact, it never occurred to me until now. Huh.
Wow, I've never known anyone who actually had a bullet with their name on it. I mean, I still don't technically know you, but that's OK. This is about as close as I feel comfortable being to someone in that situation.
Why didn't you ask him if you could have that one since he had so many?
Heidi, I wasn’t about to carry on much of a conversation about it.
