Here's a question I got this morning via e-mail from a friend:

....Do you think Anna shot Shannon? I don't think she did. If she only had one bullet left, why would she still have the gun up and pointed? There's something weird about that.
Also, I'd be willing to bet that Libby is one of "the others". I don't trust her.
Later!

My response:
I'll have to check the tape. I recorded the show to my camera and will be kicking out a DVD this weekend. It looked to me that Anna's gun chamber was open as if she fired the last shot. I thought I only heard 1 shot. If there were two, there could be a couple of theories: (1) Shannon shot herself with Sayid's gun that he pulled out of his pants (the one that came out before his "other" gun). We never saw the gun after that scene, did we? She seemed pretty down on herself. Self-inflicted stomach wounds are usually from suicidal people who crave attention rather than death. You can die from it, but it's usually long and painful. (2) Someone else shot Shannon and Anna shot at that person or thing. There was absolutely no closure in that scene. That is what leads me to believe that it's not Shannon who will be "Lost forever." Next weeks episode goes back to the beginning and tells the story of the other survivors. So we'll have to wait to see if she really did die. That's exactly what the writers want. It keeps us speculating and keeps us talking about it... and everyone knows the best form of advertising is word of mouth.

She shot her. Most people are not aware they have fired the last round. The questions is what were the wispers saying?
I have the whispering recorded and have played it backward and forward (over and over...and over) and it's still hard to make out. I'll post the audio here if you want to take a stab at translating it. A few words that I was able to make out while playing the whispers in reverse where: (not in any particular order) "son", or "his son," "(garbled) can't be dead," and "time to hide now."
Wow, I listened to it to many times forward & backwards and got nothing from it.
