Scarecrow Says
Act.
…The worn handle of the blade feels contoured to my hand…
Do.
…The man’s heartbeat is only a physical symptom of the disease of his existence upon this earth…
Do not fail.
…This fragile string can be cut; it would be so easy…
Do not hesitate.
…This man before me is a murderer, a thief, an adulterer, a stain on the soil he stole…
Do not fear.
…His gun is not an even opponent against the determination of rightful justice…
The blade.
…Yes…Yes, it must, I must…
Do it!
“Die!”
