It's only a game...

"Who wants to tell us about Morales? Jeff Weiskopf. Where's Jeff. Jeff, tell us about Morales."

There was exactly half a second between the prof's question, and his calling on Jeff. And yet, in that instant of time, all of us who didn't remember the facts of Morales had hope. Hope that someone else would volunteer, and we would be spared.

Yet, even if the prof entertains the idea of letting people volunteer, he doesn't mean it. It is Russian Roulette, and we are forced to play. There are 80 chambers, and 79 are empty. But God help you if you get that one bullet.
