Rating: R
I had thought that I would kill him. Plain and simple, a shot through the heart. I saw him standing there, though, and I changed my mind at once. Death was too simple a thing for Rupert Angier.
“Are you going to cut off my fingers?”
“Why? Your career’s over anyway.”
No air. No space. No light. Slight smacking sounds above his head, clods of dirt. Cold seeping through the wood. Splinters digging in whitened fingertips as they claw wildly at the lid.
The mound of earth grew higher. Albert’s arms burned. His eyes watered, or was it tears? Was he filling the hole or making it bigger? What about the one in his heart?
The shovel hits wood. It splinters on impact. Struggling and breathing hard, he tears the lid from the coffin. Borden reaches inside and with a strength that can only come from an adrenaline rush, he pulls an unconscious Angier from the pine box.
The lips are pale with a faint twinge of blue. He cradles the still form in his arms.
“You’re the only one who knows. I need you.”
