2 Men Gunned Down:
A Timeline In A Week... Or However Long It Takes
Ok. What's this?
Well, I decided to write a timeline in a week.
Why, would you do that, you're already working on a timeline and we both know that you will not get this done in a week.
First, this won't get in the way of me writing
1968: A Year of Turmoil, and secondly, you don't know that yet and if I don't get it done in a week then I'll probably just continue it anyway.
Why Kennedy? This board already has enough 'Kennedy lives yay' timelines.
Who says Kennedy lives? Also, why are you so negative, you're me?
Well I'm you, but I'm the more rational one.
I can't say that you're wrong about that.
Can you tell me what the hell the POD even is?
You will see in due time.

November 21 1963

The Residence of John and Idanell Brill "Nellie" Connally
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Governor John Conally felt horrible. He didn't know why either. Was it the calamari he ate last night? He didn't know, what he did know, was that he could barely walk back to his bedroom and he visited his toilet bowl three times tonight. With that given knowledge he knew he had only one course of action to take regarding his scheduled public appearance the following day, he had to tell The President that he wouldn't be able to make it.

Dallas Love Field Airport
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President Kennedy still felt a little dizzy from his plane ride to Dallas, but he had business to attend to. He saw his Vice President step off his plane and walk onto the tarmac, so Kennedy walked over to him.
"Lyndon" The President said, surprising Johnson.
"I'd like to ask you if you and Lady Bird would like to sit in the motorcade with me and Jackie."
"Sure, that sounds like a good idea, but why? I thought Governor Connally and his wife were going to sit with you." The Vice President responded.
"They were, but John got the stomach virus and poor Nellie probably got it too." Kennedy replied.
"Well, that's a shame." Johnson utters as he walks off the tarmac.

Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lee Harvey Oswald peered out of the small window in the Texas School Book Depository, any moment now, The President and Governor Connally would appear from around the corner. Oswald waited in anxious anticipation, seconds felt like hours. Then he saw it, the motorcade. But instead of containing Kennedy and Connally, the motorcade had both President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson. Oswald almost squealed like a schoolgirl, but restrained himself, even though his scream probably would have been drowned out by those of the idiots standing below him.
"Well, time to take out two birds with one stone." He says as he pulls the trigger of his Italian Carcano Rifle. His first shot hits Vice President Johnson in the neck, making it flick to the side in a satisfying crack. Johnson then collapsed, presumably lifeless, to the limo floor. For some reason, while Oswald was reloading, President Kennedy seemingly forgot his good judgment and leaned over Johnson's seat to see if he was alright.
"Idiot." He says, as he pulls his rifle's trigger again. This shot hit Kennedy directly on his frontal lobe, and judging by what was spilling out of his head, JFK was not going to be getting back up in a long time.
"Job well done, me." Oswald says as The President's motorcade speeds out of Dealey Plaza with Secret Service Agent Clint Hill riding the rear.
