Of course, he would never break a promise to a child
or even his pregnant sister
but would certainly kill anyone for them.
Big balloon belly about to burst
Baby girl, can not wait to meet you!
Praying she won't know about:

this holocaust.

as the brakelights blink on (then off again!),
it all goes away.
He keeps the others for when things get REALLY bad.
On the top-shelf of his closet,
he opens the shoebox labeled "just in case".
