Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

After sporadic firing failed to extract Bonnot from his hideout, Paris Police Chief Louis Lépine ordered the building bombed using a dynamite charge. The explosion demolished the front of the building. Barely conscious lying underneath a mattress, Bonnot was shot ten times in the upper-body before Lépine shot him non-fatally in the head. Bonnot was moved to the Hotel-Dieu hospital and pronounced dead at 1:15 pm.

To my left hand a rope was tied, leading to an electric winch at the other end of the room, slowly dragging my body over the concrete floor.
