"Brother what do you see?" I asked. His gaze clouded like dull plastic. "what calls you down this hopeless path?" The constricted serpent snapping from his dying arm. "For a moment it makes me a cow." He whispered..... "A cow that does not feel ugly or stupid. She knows neither past nor future nor dread." And I sat holding my brother the cow..... |

I learned a lesson from this. How important the title is. This was about a Heroin addict and a better title could have helped. |
