Who is Gregory from Sudden Fiction International: Sixty Short-short Stories and what is their importance?

Gregory is a prisoner of Cyprian nationalists in the story bearing his name. He is a dull but affable underling, and he was captured along with his superior. For the time of his imprisonment, Gregory is liked by his captors. He tells them about his wife and regularly cooks and does their mending. Eventually, both Gregory and his superior are sentenced to death, and Gregory's body is to be strung up on a pole. When he faces his executioner, a man he has come to like, he think he is the butt of a joke. Gregory dies after several shots, clinging to his executioner's leg. He is buried instead of hung up.
