Sadly, I am a wickedly selfish, mean-spirited individual who rather takes delight in seeing people suffer. It's a problem, to be sure, but I'm never short for entertainment! Why, just the other day an old blind woman was attempting to cross a very busy street; I could have helped her, but instead I just said, "fuck it" and went about my way, squashing as many ants as I could. Down the road a beautiful Canadian goose got smashed by a car going about 60mph. I laughed all the way home!

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
