I'll take a guess at the quick answer: Exquisitely Unpleasant.
I'm working on a crime-thriller (sort of), being told from the first-person. At some point, my character is going to need to be left for dead after receiving a few bullets from the people he never should have been mixed up with in the first place.
In one sense, I sincerely hope nobody here has ever been shot, whether it be by accident or deliberately since I can;t imagine it being at all pleasant. On the other hand though, I need to gain some kind of understanding of how it feels so I can convey the thoughts and feelings in as true a manner as possible.
I had a look through a few pages of search results and found lots of medical questions about gunshot wounds, but not the actual sensations of it.
Has anyone here been unlucky enough to know what it feels like to receive a bullet, or have you heard stories from people who have? I'm hoping to have a few snapshot phrases/quotes from which I can write a significant segment within my final chapter.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.
