Rumpole
Formerly known as "Hercule Poirot"
I found OP testimony "heart wrenching"
As human beings we empathize (to a greater or lesser extent) when we hear of fellow human beings in dire circumstance.
I could imagine his fear and dread... terror...total darkness and on his stumps he would be as vulnerable as a small child... I picture a child rather than a 6ft adult.
And afterwards.... I can imagine more terror, confusion and the horror of seeing what he had done.
People can get right into hearing, seeing, reading fictional description .. and feel emotion and cry themselves (over fictional events). Listening to Oscar was far more that a fictional description it was real and VERY moving. (for me)
