One time when I was on-call I was at a police station waiting to begin an interview and there were some Polaroids on an adjacent detective’s desk. There was an older man seated in his living room chair. He was wearing red shorts, brown sandals, and an orange tanktop, stained, and the gun was in his lap, his finger still in the trigger guard. He looked so sad.
