Very funny, especially the tone in the first half, the sort of ‘aw shucks, look what I did’ thing. Also liked the personification of the guns. The dim-witted clone seemed a bit trite, and the ending was a bit of a cop out too, but all in good fun for a silly little story.

I refuse to let you leave the ending the way it is. That’s on the same level as “but it was all a dream.” Sorry to go there, but there it is.

Other than that, it was good n’ funny. The second paragraph and the Dave parts are the best.

Felt like a Multiplicity moment, that. that said, I loathe stories that end like this. There’s no way the narrator could recall this events if he’s dead. The suspension of disbelief can’t leap over that.

First-person stories rub me the wrong way because you know that the protagonist is going to survive. It’s an inherent necessity in the medium. It’s difficult to create tension under those circumstances.

The idea of the narrator being horribly killed at the end of their story amuses me, because it shouldn’t logically happen. But it does.
