"W" is whammy

Finding out that Ennis's divorce did not mean the beginning of a sweet life together was a whammy (a serious or devastating setback) for Jack.

At the lake scene, Ennis shoves Jack in his xiphisternum, that is, the lower part of his breast bone.

Today's anatomy lesson. :)

And a real  X word.

Sorry if this was out of turn and you were planning to post the A, Sandy. Just delete my post if so.

You weren't out of turn. I don't have first dibs on posting.

"B" is bare-bones

Ennis ended up alone in a bare-bones trailer with Jack Twist in his dreams and memories.

"D" is depleted

At his last meet-up with Ennis it is evident that Jack’s stock of hope and dreams was very nearly depleted.
