Rebuttal deserves its own thread

Mesmerized from day one- A man, Jack, opens his eyes in the jungle and sees a shoe dangling from a tree- he quicly moves through the thick foliage-Absolute silence.
Suddenly, screaming mayhem, twisted burning wreckage- lives lost, hearts broken, souls shattered.

Six years later a man, Ben, stands on the beach recently shackled and digging his own grave-beseeches his captor's forgiveness through understanding- Granted. He seeks only to crawl to the reformation of a man he has murdered because,"no one else will have me."

And every moment in between or since.
