Pull the trigger

“I don’t want to have to pull this trigger,” Louie stated, “But you’ve left me no other choice. If you don’t give me back my body, I will shoot you.”

“No, you won’t. You won’t shoot your own body.” Carla responded, “I know you far too well. You’re a peaceful man, but more so you are a hopeful man. You want the hope of being able to get your body back. As long as I’m alive and in your body, that hope exists. If I die, that hope is gone, and you wouldn’t be able to stand that.”

“I WAS peaceful. I WAS hopeful. That was before I spent five months in a woman’s body; in YOUR body.”
