I'm terribly, terribly sorry. I didn't mean to do what I did. I'm ashamed of the unspeakable act I committed to you and your people. I could say it wasn't my fault. I could say that it was human hands that made me do what I did, but that won't mend your broken hearts. Your friends, family, neighbors were all murdered in their prime thanks to me and me alone. I sincerely apologize to you and grass everywhere.

Sincerely,
Lawnmower
