At first, I didn’t like the character, but as I wrote more about him and realized his vulnerabilities, I started to feel a kinship toward him and felt bad about killing him. Though I tried to think of ways to save him, I had to kill him to advance my story.
He isn’t a main character, nor is he the main villain, so it was time for him to go, and killing him was the only way. I always hate watching movies where I get to know the character and then they kill him. I don’t want reality in my fantasy world! In my world, the good characters are supposed to live forever and the villains are the ones who die! Unfortunately, even in fiction, that isn’t always the case. I guess time will tell what happens to the villain. Right now, I have to watch my back. He may pop up at any moment...

It definitely sucks when a loved character dies, but that's what makes stories more 'real'. If only the good guys survived at the end, it might be boring ;)
