john is the impartial moderator.

reconstruct the scene. noted celebrity obituarist, gary kisser, limps through the portal in the broad glass wall, the san diego sunlight shows all the colours of the vomit running down his chest, his gait is uncertain and he falls to his knees multiple time, staggering, he looks directly into the clear sun, and falls into the pool, face down. pan up to long view of pacific ocean. in his boudoir is found a small phial later to be identified as an emetic, a tube of model airplane glue, a glamour magazine, and a bodyglove full wetsuit with traces of blood around the collar. the trail of vomit drips traces an erratic pattern through the home, not directly from the boudoir to the pool deck. was he killed, or was it the desperate experimentation of a man whose life was death?
