It was the first sentient being I had ever killed. I was now a killer. I was now as guilty as Cain. I was sixteen years old, a harmless boy, bookish and religious, and now I had blood on my hands. It’s a terrible burden to carry. All sentient life is sacred.

Some countries have lost that capacity, or dismissed it or marginalized it.

In a book, your imagination will do the acting for you. Also, the process of revelation is often different. Tension is achieved in a different way.
