Weariness of body or mind from strain, oppressive climate,

etc.

‘He was unwilling to abandon this lovely lassitude but he

had to, of course.’ Pg. 3

Arms free-falling, mind pin-wheeling, he let himself

succumb to the lassitude that overtook him, fell to the floor

in a tired heap.

Lassitude

Page 2: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

characterized by or expressing goodwill or kindly feelings

‘Archie turned and smiled at him benevolently, like a goddam king

passing out favors.’ Pg. 7

He was a bit of a jerk, Harry was sure. He spent his time yukking it

up with his friends, who all seemed to have gotten the money versus

the brains, benevolently smiling at those he crushed on his assent to

the top.

Benevolently

Page 3: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

lacking in vigor or vitality

‘He moved with a subtle rhythm, languidly, the walk of an athlete although he hated all sports and had nothing but contempt for all

athletes.’ Pg. 11

Now that he had finally achieved the highest tier, a feat like no other,

he felt himself languidly meandering around the 82nd floor,

watching the help clean his windows for far below minimum

wage.

Languidly

Page 4: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

obtained, done, made, etc., by stealth; secret or unauthorized

‘He studied the photograph surreptitiously and then closed the magazine and put it back where it belonged, on the top

shelf.’ Pg. 17

Did he think himself to be a fool? A arms flailing, lips

flapping idiot that had forgotten the surreptitious means by

which he achieved this degree?

Surreptitiously

Page 5: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

showing or expressing contempt or disdain

‘The guy’s voice was contemptuous.’ Pg. 20

He thought not. Certainly not. He had always been a

contemptuous arse when it counted most, which was nearly

always, silently judging all.

Contemptuous

Page 6: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

charming; agreeable; pleasing

‘On the surface, he was one of those pale, ingratiating kind of

men who tiptoed through life on small, quick feet.’ Pg. 24

Hurrying himself along, he hardly paused to acknowledge the

ingratiating ghost that seemed to hover about him like a second skin: the last remainder of his

past wrong-doing.

Ingratiating

Page 7: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

to represent fictitiously; put on an appearance of

‘Archie asked, feigning surprise, trying to keep

any trace of mockery out of his voice.’ Pg. 26

If that was what life was, feigning to have one at all, he wasn’t quite sure he needed one to begin

with.

Feigning

Page 8: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

boldness or daring, especially with confident or arrogant disregard for

personal safety, conventional thought, or other restrictions

‘Archie was surprised by Leon’s audacity, knowing his connection with The Vigil and bringing him here in this

way.’ Pg. 27

You dare have the audacity, someone asked him one night, when the lights

were low and he could hardly see beyond his arm. The voice was murky

sweet, tinged with anger. To even think about such things? Heart thumping

away in his chest like a bomb, he nodded.

Audacity

Page 9: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

not to be revoked or recalled; unable to be repealed or annulled;

unalterable

‘Archie said, a command in his voice,

no nonsense, final, irrevocable.’ Pg. 36

Head spinning, eyes slitting, he received the irrevocable sentencing.

Irrevocable

Page 10: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

incapable of being investigated, analyzed, or scrutinized;

impenetrable

‘Archie said, keeping his face expressionless, inscrutable as usual, even though he felt a

bead of perspiration trace a cold path from his armpit to his rib.’

Pg. 37

He thought himself irrevocable, he was a minor drug lord after all, and had acted as such. He

left clues everywhere, left himself wide open.

Inscrutable

Page 11: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

a bewildered state

‘He looked at the kid Goober who stood there in

bewilderment, looking as if he were going to cry.’ Pg. 38

He spent the entire arrest in bewilderment, his mind viewing himself on the

outside, becoming a willing puppet in the hands of the

policeman.

Bewilderment

Page 12: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

something that a person cannot conquer, achieve, etc

‘The black box was his nemesis.’ Pg. 37

They read off his rights, but he had none, really. He could hire a lawyer. He could stay quiet. This aching in his chest was his nemesis, testing to see if he could keep his eyes

open, a strong and able adversary.

Nemesis

Page 13: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

pertaining to or involving sacrilege‘”I know you wouldn’t consider

anything so sacrilegious.”’ Pg. 45

Flesh heating, he wondered if it would be sacrilegious to pray to a god now. Did he believe in a God, even? One of the men shoved his face into the hood

of the car roughly; he could feel his nose break. Did he live up to his

namesake? Jesus, being prosecuted. Oh, the irony.

Sacrilegious

Page 14: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

having or showing a feeling of vague or regretful longing

‘Emile smiled at Archie, suddenly wistful.’ Pg. 51

He was wistful when a month had past. Long gone were the days of an aching

heart, eager to be free from these tortuous steel bars.

Wistful

Page 15: DONT DIE ON ME PLZ b 1zciqug

a scene or state of wild uproar and confusion

‘“My God,” Brother Eugene cried as he entered the classroom and

beheld the bedlam.’ pg. 70

And then chaos struck. Concrete walls thrumming with excitement

and a need to destroy, the bedlam swept through each cell,

both of the prison and their bodies.

Bedlam
