Yeah, I have contemplated just keeping thoughts in italics instead of inverted commas, but I wasn't really sure about either, so I let it be.

I tried to show the man's human side - he was deeply religious, and mentioned his beloved Anna a few times. But this was his last day, and that's how he chose to meet it. The interesting thing was that the real life character I have represented was almost equally nonchalant about his mortality.

Thanks for the feedback!
