The Vileness of Revenge Death is a certainty for any living human being unless a person believes in preserving their brain cryogenically, but despite what you believe, death is going to come either tragically, horribly or peacefully. Now, imagine death coming at the hand of the one who held you close when you were born and shed uncontrollable tears, the one who promised never to let you go come what may, the one who swore to give their life for you if need be, or the one who feels every emotion
