suicidal ideation and animal cruelty

“what did you do!?”

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8SEj1jtyX

i threw the rifle on the ground

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkjl3SSjiF

“You could have killed her in one shot”

he moaned

“now she’s in pain”

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2pe63S9at

i was trying to save her.

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHMscDzV3

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

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4T3846FfV

we went looking around

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOkOfBnZ9T

i found her in the wandering willie

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmZOMPHuRR

while uncle seth was still looking

somewhere else

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01mpq0ukZO

i didn’t call him over

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVyomb7E4

i just looked the doe in the eye

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvmj7Vp4dq

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

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dc4w6A5oY

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.

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvsy9YlKYy

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?

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW6idhSXaL

the eye looked back at me

quivering

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx70sHHeuj

and i shot her.

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoRJo6KD3g

through the eye

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZyovWlMGO

into the brain

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFNAdwMlqG

and she stopped quivering

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUuvpoPynj

uncle seth looked over at me

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ247Rk8dLsB

“oh, you found her,

“good job!”

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuHOo0FaH8

now that the eye was gone

i didn’t need to look into it

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvoxJDBDJV

the bullet didn’t come out the other side

so it was still buried somewhere in her brain

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmy6ntF7E2

“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”

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOISFDQy42

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

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1NJI5G7H

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41aFBf9D3k

the doe’s other eye was unscratched

when i saw it i flinched

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE9VhR64fn

i’d never properly looked at

dead

before

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD61jnRY12

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

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaHitW7twZ

this doe was.
