They were able to fly and could silently assassinate pretty much anyone Gilt wanted. Y’all, think about the creature he chose to hire. Holy shit, I didn’t even consider that! I thought he was an outsider gargoyle, and I get why I thought that, but this makes Gilt even more awful. And instead of providing a better service or fairly competing with the post office, he sent a banshee (!!!!!) to burn the whole place down, preferably with people inside of it. He’s threatened because Moist helped make it clear just how bullshit the Grand Trunk Company has become since Gilt took it over. Bullshit!!! The man is threatened by someone offering a service better than his. And for what? Because he believes in freedom and a life without tyranny? Bullshit. All that undelivered mail will now never be delivered. Tiddles, Groat, and countless others nearly died. We don’t even know what the final damage will be. (And I say that knowing how much I hated Carcer in Night Watch.) He most likely destroyed the majority of the post office. I hate him so much, and I find that he is one of the most despicable antagonists in this whole series. I did not ever like Reacher Gilt, but this chapter… lord. I feel like that’s a succinct summary of Moist’s entire predicament, and I’m going to allow myself to laugh at it because most of the rest of this chapter is just so sad. Intrigued? Then it’s time for Mark to read Discworld. In the first half of the tenth chapter of Going Postal, Moist rushes to save the post office.
