Instantly, Jacob was back in Flander’s trenches. He dove under the table and covered his head.
Luckily, it was only the shakes this time… and not the screams.

209 Anatomy of a Murder
"Strip," she instructed, adding to the terror from her gun. In the dead of night, she led him at gunpoint to the hospital morgue. The dark morgue corridor was the perfect backdrop for her self-righteous and gender-affirming vengeance.
