20/100ths of a second.
By Nicol Tyler
The average blink of the eye takes approximately 32/100ths of a second; record Fast Draw times exceed 20/100ths of a second.
This means in a blink of an eye your whole world can change, you can have everything taken away from you, everything that you have ever loved and cared for gone in a blink of an eye.
The evidence is laid out before me on the cold hard floor of the Quick stop. The same place not more than three minutes ago my partner and I walked into looking for a snack, but found a junkie with a gun.
A junkie who pointed his gun at my partner, the only person in this world I would give my life for, And started to squeeze the trigger, the same junkie whose lifeless form was now laid out before me on the floor.
I turn my eyes from the dead to my partner who told me five minutes ago a little trivia about gun draws. He smiles grimly with a small nod that says we are ok and I can't help but return it.
The average blink of the eye may take approximately 32/100ths of a second; and the record Fast Draw times may exceed 20/100ths of a second.
But I was faster.
