Summary
A gun fires, but Gatsby doesn't die. A person on the other side of the water packs away a smoking rifle and leaves.
"You leaned close, listening to the sounds, hearing the things your rifle had to say. The proper conductor did not play for the orchestra: they directed, let the instruments lead the way. With the cold metal of the scope pressed against your eye, you prepared for a symphony."

Bookmark Notes:
The world, perhaps, would be better for your interference, but your presence was unneeded any longer. And though they couldn't see you, you still gave the men a brief wave, before walking off, the only evidence of your existence the impression left in the sands and a spent bullet casing from a time far off and away.
(A very poetic story)
