I lost my one buddy, someone I needed. It was my fault and I know it.
But to be completely honest; I felt nothing, no guilt, no fear, I just stood and watched my pal die.
He was annoying, he was a pain to deal with, so why the hell should I care? It was his fault for running in the road anyway, so why should I bother with someone as dumb as Edgar.
But of course Barley had to come along, can't believe he actually felt horrible about it, why did he care? I thought he was also bothered by this dumb spider as well, guess not?

But I will admit,
I did not want to see him scattered across a road,
Organs, legs, skin,
On the road. His last sounds that have been crawling around my mind:
Just a squeak. . . A tired squeak. . . A squeak he would typically make when falling asleep.
