Notably: That scene, that car, that strange attempt at moralist advertising, was glimpsed at the county courthouse the other morning just before a scabrous hearing that had me thinking friends don’t let friends go to scabrous hearing. It’s an odd, vaguely threatening message: are those friends hoping for their cut at the life insurance? What if the poor schmuck has no friends? Why aren’t you out there badgering your representatives not to bankrupt social security? And what are you proposing, that friends have an intervention and force the eventual retiree, or eventual stiff, to get with All State and bankrupt him-or-herself with premiums? I would have called to get clearer answers. But the number is missing a marble.

I stood up. For a moment I saw Gloria again, siting on that bench on the pier. The bullet had just struck her in the side of the head; the blood had not even started to flow. The flash from the pistol still lighted her face. Everything was plain as day. She was completely relaxed, was completely comfortable. The impact of the bullet had turned her head a little away from me; I did not have a perfect profile view but I could see enough of her face and her lips to know she was smiling. The Prosecuting Attorney was wrong when he told the jury she died in agony, friendless, alone except for her brutal murderer, out there in that black night on the edge of the Pacific. He was as wrong as a man can be. She did not die in agony. She was relaxed and comfortable and she was smiling. It was the first time I had ever seen her smile. How could she have been in agony then? And she wasn’t friendless. I was her very best friend. I was her only friend. So how could she have been friendless?
–From Horace McCoy’s They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1935).
