A Metaphor
When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.
-- Raymond Chandler
A man comes through a door with a gun in his hand.
A second man comes through the door with a gun in his hand.
“What are you doing here?” the first man asks.
A third man comes through the door with a gun in his hand. He’s followed by a fourth man. The fourth man has a gun in his hand.
“What’s the big idea?” the third man asks.
Two more men come through the door, each with a gun in his hand.
"What are you all doing here?" someone asks.
Another man comes through the door with a gun in his hand.
Their palms are becoming wet against the steel of their pistols.
Now three more men come through the door, each with a gun in his hand.
The men are packed tightly into the room. It's unbearably hot. Someone knocks over a lamp. The lights go out.
The door opens.
