His face was a cyclone of anguish especially his eyes otherwise normal in all regards.
I'd once said 'You are a bigot' and seen him gyre through the ceiling shaking like a leaf new bud its first rain storm.

We've become better acquainted since my accusation to which he asked, “Do you know what a bigot is?” In sotto voice replying “of course I am one as well for God.”

He stormed away slamming the door obligated to conduct a class saying; “We'll settle this later” and never did. Though in reply, “I look forward to anything you offer.”

Last evening his son called from the site in Aurora Colorado where a significant number were killed and many more wounded lives saying, “Dad we were to have attended the event but chose otherwise.”

Had I a weapon as functional as a hand gun or assault rifle I'd have killed myself long ago instead of another.

As for my former bigotry I now have none knowing that instead of killing my self or another I might as well stay another day lending a hand God has none.
