Shhhhh. I’m hunting wabbits. Well, they got me good, chief. Gutshot and blue blooded and goofy eyed, just like how the gypsy woman said I’d go. Remember old Roger, won’t you? Remember who killed me. I didn’t want it to be this way, or for you to see me like this. Here we are though. I wasn’t used to being the hunted. In my prime I did some damage, hurt some people, wooed some women. Oh, the women! If they saw me like this, you wouldn’t be able to stand the wailing. The darkness is creeping in. I’ll go softly.
