Slippery Sloped

He was hanging onto the cliff just far enough down that I couldn't reach him. So I stood there, the rope over his shoulder, aa he looked up at me.


"I need to know you know why I did it. That you understand they needed to die."


I sighed.


"I understand why you felt that way."


"That's a sentence with a 'but' on it."


"You kill for good reasons, you end up killing for bad reasons."


I could see him make the mental calculations.


"This a bad reason?"


He let go.


"Yes." I said, then gathered the rope up silently.
