A bit of overkill. So much so that it detracts from the story.

I actually thought that the absurdity of the overkill made it that much more funny, as well as Peter’s thought processes during this situation. I just wonder how Peter got to the button while strapped to the gurney?

smdasilva – overkill? I don’t know what you mean… ;-)

BARomero – who nose… I guess they should have tied his head down too. Unless they put the button there on purpose? Oh noes!

kind of makes me NOT want to think of pink elephants….. Over kill? I thought this was quite realistic…… but then I’m a fellow musician, trumpet player…. so a bow to the sackbutt for his original overkill.

Sharpest knife in the drawer I do believe. Unless you meant draw..
Wonder what killed him first? Forensic science on TV, sorry..

Good point Elshahawk. Draw is very common colloquialism at least here in Australia, although it seems to be in the U.S. too, to a lesser degree. I shall fix it though…

Great fun, and the dopey optimism of the main character made me smile.

Excellent! Conjures up the dark absurdity of “Murder By Death”, for some reason, but it’s a wonderful parallel for me.

Very good. Impending doom meets a mysterious button.
I felt that the story built up a nice sense of tension from the beginning. A fun piece with an ending that made me actually laugh out loud.
