'The Shortest Pain' is a testimony to Fred D'Aguiar's gripping exploration of life which is 'The Longest Memory'. It is a first person account regarding the death of Chapel within the main story from another character's perspective, specifically a character who has been invented as a plantation owner who happens to hear Mr Whitechapel at the Gentlemen's Club one fateful night. There he chooses to converse with him and leads to their sharing of beliefs upon the matter of American slavery in the South between 1790 and 1810.

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
