The gun shakes in my hand like a man having a seizure as I empty shells into Mr. Lechwalter. His execution was carried out just as Tomas asked. I snuck into his father's household in the dead of night and I woke him by throwing a firecracker into his master bedroom. I then said phrases such "Come out and play!" in a phychotic... More..

Eoince lay near the small crackling fire for several minutes when the shadow of hunger awakened his senses.
