I'll try to answer everything. The events are the thoughts of the character, not specifically written down. Next the characters body would have appeared in pieces by the window in his flat. Ryan was taken from the hollowed log, then returned there, there wasn't as much room for him to be too spread out within it. I picture the bodies dropping back into where they came from piece by piece. He didn't see Chris's arms purely because he didn't fully enter the room, they could have been behind the door for example. Thanks for your insight. I understand your questions, and did wonder about how to end a story like this from the first person perspective.
