Narrow, yellow eyes with no visible pupils sparkled with merriment, but the sort of merriment that came from pulling the wings off flies or the arms off experimental subjects.
by Richard A. Knaak
(0 Reviews)

The character described possesses narrow yellow eyes that gleam with a twisted sense of enjoyment. This merriment suggests a dark and malevolent nature, as it is likened to the cruel act of torturing flies or subjects in experiments, indicating a penchant for causing pain and suffering. The imagery evokes a sense of danger and foreboding, hinting at a personality that takes pleasure in the misfortune of others.

The choice of words emphasizes the character's sadistic tendencies, portraying them as a villain who thrives on the chaos and distress they inflict. Such a portrayal deepens the sense of dread surrounding the individual, suggesting that their actions may not just be random cruelty but part of a larger, more sinister agenda. The eyes, often regarded as windows to the soul, betray a lack of empathy and a delight in manipulation.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
