suicidal ideation and animal cruelty

“what did you do!?”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM5IIAv9nw

i threw the rifle on the ground

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpXpKLnABp

“You could have killed her in one shot”

he moaned

“now she’s in pain”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV4ZPNrBZ0

i was trying to save her.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimu8J7W3b

“we’re going to have to find her” said uncle seth

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ykTt5vy6Z

we went looking around

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQIptUzYoJ

i found her in the wandering willie

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTBfWOhiWv

while uncle seth was still looking

somewhere else

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmIleYTZP

i didn’t call him over

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrznzL4DnF

i just looked the doe in the eye

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0BuyiiiuO

on the dirt, bleeding

she wasn’t going to recover from what we’d done to her

and when i looked into the eye

i could see from where i was standing

i saw a feeling i recognised

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IWWsKMsz1

maybe it was just me

trying too hard to relate to the animal

maybe i wanted her to be me

when she wasn’t

there was no way i could see someone’s emotion

just by looking at their eyes

but that didn’t stop me from thinking

that doe was me.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaWpitH2pV

and if she was me

but someone else

what should i do?

i was the one with the gun

she was the one without

what would i want me to do in this situation?

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLBKCfgPr

the eye looked back at me

quivering

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalLrK9XY1o

and i shot her.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh2TrtThJt

through the eye

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbnikkx7z5

into the brain

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12vXfo5vUi

and she stopped quivering

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDorPno5UCs

uncle seth looked over at me

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhTqJ41CNk

“oh, you found her,

“good job!”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemWQRPQGtk

now that the eye was gone

i didn’t need to look into it

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiCcREbmJQ

the bullet didn’t come out the other side

so it was still buried somewhere in her brain

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmdXNwRQlm

“next time, leave the face alone”

uncle seth told me

“it’s okay this time, because you didn’t know

“but i usually don’t damage the face when i hunt pretty animals

“because then i can get it taxidermied”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16EoPVSSCp

i didn’t mind taxidermy myself

(some vegans do)

but all i wanted to do that day was destroy my mirror

people would say that brings bad luck

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfNVB0zXIV

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcSHBUIEBO

the doe’s other eye was unscratched

when i saw it i flinched

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0pfMXVWtX

i’d never properly looked at

dead

before

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYoRozSjCS

and i saw than that pandora and i weren’t dead at all.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqmUrly4D3

this doe was.
