Jazz,
What do you think was the last thing that Kevin Archibald saw before he lost consciousness forever after you hit him and took his life from us? We will never know, but I can tell you that for the rest of your life, you will see Kevin Archibald in every thing that you do, and at your moment of death, his image will be the last thing that you see.
His death will haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never be able to escape it.
