/on Sept 6, 1951, Burroughs said to Vollmer, "it's about time for our William Tell act". she placed a whiskey glass over her head, Burroughs aimed and shot. she was dead before the whiskey glass broke to the ground. the bullet got in and out Vollmer's skull, cleanly. Burroughs became a writer because of this, he later said he started writing because the only way forward was to write his way out.

("Burroughs bullet", 160x160cm, dedicated to Vollmer and Burroughs, and to insanity in Love).
