I am sorry to hear about Lennie. It really is a tragic thing that happened but I know in my mind you made the right choice. I heard from Carlson that Curley "I'm gonna get him. i'm going for my shotgun. i'll kill the big son-of-a-bitch myself. I'll shoot 'im in the guts. Come on, you guys." If you didn't put that big fellow down without pain, Curley would've killed him slowly by shooting out his guts. I also heard from Carlson you got his luger back for him and ended Lennie's life for a good reason. I know for a fact Lennie would never do something ferocious like that. Lennie doesn't deserve anything CLOSE to this bad. He is just a big guy not knowing what wrong and whats right.
I also think it was a great idea to lead him into instead of just saying " I need to kill you." I like how you made him past away peacefully. To have his head and his hopes high before Lennie had to go.
"Look acrost the river, Lennie, an' I'll tell you so you can almost see it. " Lennie turned his head and looked off across the pool and up the darkening slopes of Gabilans. "We gonna get a little place," He reached in his side pocket and brought out Carlson's Luger.
He made it seem like everything was going to be okay and to keep Lennie happy and satisfied.
