"A Hanging" by George Orwell

"condemned cells"
"like small animal cages"

"squatting"
"puny wisp of a man"

"vague liquid eyes"

"A dreadful thing had happened - a dog, come goodness knows whence, had appeared in the yard."

The dog was "wild with glee" and "pranced".

"Everyone stood aghast..."

"When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness..."

"We all had a drink, native and European alike, quite amicably. The dead man was a hundred yards away."
