("Then came a loud crack, the sound of a sniper’s bullet breaking the sound barrier. [Maj] General Khattiya [Sawatdiphol of Thailand] collapsed at my feet.  One blink earlier he was answering my questions. Now he was slumped on the ground, his vacant eyes still open, as blood spilled onto his camouflage uniform. The world around me went into slow motion as I watched the general being dragged away by his supporters")

Note: vacant (adj): "devoid of thought, reflection, or expression <a vacant smile>"
