I've been reading quite a bit of nonfiction lately, so I think I'll call this month "Non-fiction Month." Here's the first entry, from a book by three men who were, as the title suggests, held captive for quite some time:

"We were all a bit surprised that we’d taken such satisfaction in Rogelio’s [one of their captors] death. It disturbed me. . . . Perhaps some very small part of my soul died along with Rogelio. Perhaps his treatment of us had afflicted me in such a way that I’d lost some of my humanity. Perhaps I had to add my conscience to our casualty list."
