That's it. The story ACTUALLY sounds interesting if you exclude all those damn
metaphors ;)

OneShot, OneShot, OneShot.  Those weren't metaphors.  Those were
SIMILIES!!!!  Metaphors make comparisons by stating that one thing is
another (The road is a grey ribbon wrapped around the mountain.) while
similes use 'like' or 'as ... as' to make the comparison (The road is like a
grey ribbon wrapped around the mountain.).  In retrospect, I can't seem to
find one metaphor in that entry, and although there certainly were enough
similies, I noted a distinct lack of personifications.
