Confound the hour he entered my shop! I am a revolutionary but not a murderer. And it would be so easy to kill him. He deserves it. Or does he? No! No one deserves the sacrifice others make in becoming assassins. What is to be gained by it? Nothing.

He would not even have time to moan, and with his eyes shut he would not even see the shine of the razor or the gleam in my eye. –"Lather and Nothing Else,”
Hernando Tellez
