What Just Happened?

Senor Papel led a life of little contact with others.

He did not interact socially, but when he did, it was always with catastrophic consequences.

One day while walking home, he ran into Monsieur Roche and a fight ensued.

Within minutes, Senor Papel literally squeezed the last breath out of Monsieur Roche,

leaving him dead on the pavement.

Within seconds of Monsieur Roche’s death, Capitano Forbici apprehended Senor Papel

and cut him until he submitted and surrendered.

Ironically, at the trial, Captain Forbici testified that, under the same set of circumstances,

he would have fought the stronger Monsieur Roche in a losing battle,

hoping that Senor Papel could detain the larger aggressor until additional authorities arrived.
