The Silent Consequence of Power
The History Man
She took away his voice, and they spent the rest of the day in silence. There are those who prefer that she did more than shoot him. They claim that she ended him in ways more fitting. They tell of righteous perversities and witty mutilations. But this is the truth whispered to me by Furiosa herself. Deep in the Citadel, high up in the hydroponic gardens, there is a tree unlike any other. Its soil is human. Its nutrients human. Maggots debriding his necrotic flesh. It was an echo growing out of a human being.
