Not sure on what to feel, I turned my head. “I am dying,” I heard her yell, I turned and looked out my window to find her bleeding-trying to get away from an armed male. The assailant then looks up and sees me, I became afraid. My first instant was to call the police, but I thought to myself, “Wait he saw me, he could then come for me too!” I wish I had never even…

Gregor may not be a suitable sacrifice if he lacks the honor, let alone the willingness, to have his sacrifice hold any significant meaning. However, Gregor, as his family’s…
