Emergency Bullet in the Brain

I found both stories to be kind of interesting. Although, I liked the first one more because the second one was kind of confusing. Bullet in the Brain was so descriptive that it actually painted a very vivid picture in my head. Which is surprising to me for how short the story was. I thought the second story, Emergency, had more of a moral about it while still being a descriptive story. I just found that it was harder to follow, but I may have just not really payed enough attention to that one. I wasn't expecting the stories to be like these but I preferred the Bullet in the Brain story more. It was really interesting how the writer explained the final thought of the guy while he was being shot. His last thought were just about the most relaxed and peaceful times in his life, which almost gave death more of a tranquil feeling rather than a sad one. But it also made me get the impression that when it come down to it, all of the things which matter so much when were living and give us the most stress and problems just don't matter in the end because you are just put at peace. The part I think I liked most about the Bullet in the Brain story, as messed up as it sounds, was the part talking about the bullet entering, going though, and leaving the mans head. It was probably the most descriptive part and thats why it caught my attention. I would have to say the messages of these stories are something like remember the little things in life because those are the ones that matter most.
