Badong, killing is badong.

"The murderous mark of the fiend's grasp was on her neck, and the breath had ceased to issue from her lips." (Page 145)


     The creature is a killing machine. I was sitting in class today thinking about all of the people he had killed, and I wished I could think of a new, stronger word for killing. I was reminded of a scene from Kungpow when the protagonist makes an entire speech about creating a new word for killing because killing in bad and wrong. He comes up with "badong." I found a clip of him giving the speech on youtube, but it unfortunately had a cuss word in the title of the video, so I couldn't put it on here. So here's the speech he gives:

"Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab."

So it's not exactly a speech, but it is  a few sentences. That counts. The creature was a bit of a jerk to Victor even though Victor rejected him from the moment he was born. They were a destructive relationship from the start. What a shame.
