He was known for the fury of his temper, his ability to sustain any amount of injury and there she stood waiting for him, calmly.
He closed the gap and delivered his final eulogy. ““You worry me, Catherine. You seem to think you’re quite invincible.”
He lifted the iron bar, then she lifted up the gun and he knew she had won.

Oh, thanks. I never actually posted it because I did not feel it concise and self-explanatory enough. It only is in the context of what you wrote. On it’s own I didn’t think it was clear enough to leave no doubt. Yours leaves no doubt. Oh, and thanks for posting the link to that website. I like the idea of a picture and a line of text as a springboard, and the constraint of a structure, which I think begets creativity.
Maybe that is why
