Slim hit the floor with a thud that was concealed by the explosion of what they called a Carnage bomb. The resulting wall of flame sent plaster dust, mortar and masonry shrapnel speeding in every direction.
He crawled, bleeding, ears ringing, and covered in white dust, to where the explosion had hurled Bobbi. She lay in a heap of wrong angles. Tears cut trenches in Slim’s grime covered face as reality set in. She was gone.
They would come for him, just as they had come for everyone else.
Let them come, he thought. I’ll show them some real carnage.

Looks like they may have radicalised Slim. The reality of the vicious circle of violence. Neatly done.

I have a feeling Slim is going to commit some nasty acts, probably quite justified. Original take on the prompt, thank you.

When we have reached a last resort, we can become unpredictable and totally unlike ourselves. I think Slim is going to give “them” a bloody fight.

They say a man who desires revenge should dig two graves. This won’t end well I fear.
