Author's Note: This is a series of vignettes showing the final moments of the victims in each episode of "Castle". The episode's title serves as the chapter's title; if there was more than one victim their name will also appear in the chapter title.
Marvin Fisk had worked another grueling ten-hour day. He was ready to head home. He was just pulling on his jacket when there was a knock at the door.
He could have left by the other entrance, but it could be someone in trouble... Marvin opened the door to find a smaller man, dressed in dark jacket, pants, hat, and gloves. Before Marvin could ask what he was doing there, the man lunged, knocking Marvin onto the floor. Marvin struggled against the man, trying to get the upper hand, but the smaller individual somehow stayed on top. Before Marvin quite realized what was happening, he felt severe pressure on his windpipe. The man was strangling him with his tie! Afraid of dying, Marvin struggled even harder, but the little man was surprisingly strong.
His vision was starting to darken around the edges. It was becoming harder to move his arms. He could hardly see anything but the man. He could barely draw a breath.
The world went black.
