That was one of the most brilliant piece of literature I have read! It was poetic.
: ...a special friendship over the past 14 months. 'Hide and Seek' was our favorite pastime. Much of the time he let me win just because he was kind. He told me once in a very emotional state, that he was so hurt by the way many Georgers treated him. He heard every nasty insult spoken under the breath or even screamed out at him. But he always maintained a professional demeanor and was always ready to serve, sort of like Kryton. It would be easy for me to be bitter and leave Georging for ever but when I broke the news to him yesterday, as devastated as he was, he told me not to leave Georging because it means so much to me. He was so generous. I told him I would gladly fight this capital punishment injustice, all the way to the Supreme Court but in his typically unselfish way he told me his time had come and I must do whatever is necessary to overcome this tragedy. I didn't know you possessed such a dark side Hank. This is truly shocking to find this out and in such an unsympathetic way at that. In time all of you who called for the blood to start flowing will end up missing him. What a terrible thing we are doing.
