If they weren't under her payroll, trying to feed their own families and make a living, they would see her death in a new light. They'd rejoice and dance on her body. They'd dip their fingers into her blood and paint streaks across their cheeks, a statement of victory.

Then I feel the cold prick of a needle as it goes into my neck.
