you have to understand - i had n't slept in two days . that creature had tormented my friend 's wife and daughter , nearly murdered them right in front of my eyes , and now it was going to answer for it . he looked so small in the hospital bed . would i have made your birthday as special as it was if this was just a game ? he changed direction to the south side of town , the side of town even the toughest of the tough did n't go unless they had to .
