Michael J. Collins - It was the first time I had ever seen someone...

It was the first time I had ever seen someone die, and it wasn't what I expected..I stood there waiting for something momentous to happen, for someone to say something profound, but there was nothing..I still had the childish notion that since my life was so important, all lives were so important. Since my death would be so cataclysmic, all deaths would be so cataclysmic.
