They put a curly, honey blonde wig on you, the color of hair you use to have before you dyed everything raven black. Your tight, sickening pale skin clung to your pores, and placid expression. Your eyes, which used to be a brilliant and enchanting blue, were closed so that those of weak mind, didn’t have to see the naked truth of pain. They tried to make you look alive, plastering your skin with artificial liquids. They gave you red lips; ironically the same color as your blood. You look like a…

I have come to believe that Absalom should be sentenced to death for the murder of Arthur Jarvis. Arthur Jarvis was a very kind and intelligent man and I do not think there was any reason for anyone to kill him. Arthur Jarvis was also a well-respected reformer in the black community.
