I'm not sure what possessed me. I watch the body move in the glowing ashes and feel sick to my stomach. All my life I have built and lit fires. And all my life I have caught and cared for animals. So I'm not sure what possessed me today to put the crawfish I pulled so carefully out of the water into the fire. I guess I was finally too sick of being the only one burning alive. Only it didn't help. Not at all. In fact I feel even worse-- as I watch it's legs burn off and shell crack, tail snapping against it's burnt little body in attempt to repel itself away from the flames-- I feel even worse because I know exactly how that feels. And I brought that pain upon an innocent creature. Just like He did to me. And as the body stops fighting I begin to cry, something I have not done in a very long time. I cry, but wiether it is for the crawfish or me I don't want to think about. Either way I'm afraid of the answer. So instead I think I will just wonder about what possessed me to do this and cry. |

Humm, La.....La, One's perception is one's reality. Try removing yourself from the loneliest number. The drama is too self-centered. Pyromania and sadism require more research. I boiled a lobster...then ate it! Was the situation a sadistic endeavor on my part? I didn't think so...and still don't! No big deal! 'cause that is my perception. In my belief system, the reality is..."matter is neither created or destroyed; it just changes forms" and what was a lobster is now a part of me. Try understanding self...the idioverse of a creative writer is an intriguing domain...and technique, or technic, can be an important culinary device. I suggest boiling water next time and try making a meal of what you have prepared. Waste not! Want not! I'm "passing" this one back...no grade! Follow the suggestions and make appropriate modifications. ...think! and good-will, hunting... [This message has been edited by r v wooo (09-03-2012 12:54 PM).] |
