If you have followed the story of the Golb the lesser, you will remember that he had nothing more to than spend countless hours trying to drag everyone else through the mud because of daddy issues.
Now, we know why…
“My real concern is if I’ll be able to handle it physically,” he said. “I don’t have a good back. I was once rushed to the hospital with neck spasms. Being in a confined environment, I don’t know how I’ll react to that. It’s possible I’ll go insane. It’s possible that I’ll be fine and just read my books and do some writing.”
So that’s why he did what he did… because he has back problems, most notably, the lack of a back bone.
Well, no worries. I’m sure he’ll get the bone in prison.
There’s a typo. It should say, “It’s possible I’ll go more insane.”
