I couldn’t help it, I had to get one last dark joke in before the end. 🙂
↓ Transcript
Jacob: Well, I guess you're wondering why I'm at the Grand Canyon. Always wanted to visit. I heard that, if you poured a billion dead bodies into the Grand Canyon, they'd barely cover the riverbed. I've killed somewhere north of a billion people. It's good to know that if I had to dig a mass grave...it wouldn't have to be this big. Also, I wanted to see a half-mile deep cliff. Unbreakable bones don't matter in a fall like that. The body just turns to jelly.
Ohno
Dammit Jacob, after all you’ve been through…………
So, our hero/anti-hero succumbs to suicidal tendencies.
I’m crossing my fingers that Jacob’s throwing all Roger’s bugs off the cliff, re-inventing himself / his identity, and getting into a less fraught line of work for the next 50 years…
If not, Remus, I hope your curse isn’t still in effect >_<
I forgot about the curse. Looks at news (nervoustwitch).
(sigh) All of this was written *months* ago. I take no karmic responsibility for current events. 🙂
No, Jacob, nooo!
What if one tucks and rolls?
Well, if the genocide of the Genocide Men is to come to its full ironic fruition…
Still, I would hope that Jacob has learned the lesson that destruction only slows us down in our search for a better world.
I remember that in the first chapter, Jacob says the only way to kill an idea is kill everyone who holds it. What idea might Jacob have that he wants to take with him, that so others also don’t have?
Terminal velocity for a human dropping through air is around 120 mph spread eagle, or 180-200mph feet first, which shouldn’t be all that bad for a genocide man. They move faster than that routinely.
