Connor dragged the head of an old waterproof match against the caustic strip of it’s package, and brought it to the cigarette perched between his lips. “You know something, I think I’ll write about this later.” McElroy had previously eased the hammer down on his revolver, now pressed against the back of Connor's head, just so he now had the privilege of cocking it back into place, giving off a satisfyingly threatening echo.
“Just what the hell makes you think you’ll get out of this alive?”
“Well, for one thing,” Connor replied, “I’m not the one standing on a landmine.”
Nice twist. Great description of the lighting of the match. I enjoyed it...
