   I deleted thousands of files from my system today.

   I did it in the most brutal manner possible.

   Without mercy, without an instant thought for their wellbeing.

   I am a monster.

         I have no thought for their pain. For the hurt I might do. It haunts me.

      Dunno. Zapping the inodes seems almost surgical compared to truncating byte by byte for example? Or do you think you buried them alive that way? Are they still lurking in some dark, uncharted alleys of your filesystem until the final OVERWRITER comes?

      How dare you flip those poor bits without any regard to hardships of their existence!?
