suicidal ideation

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvxYi8Tjry

i pretended to be happy

i didn’t want him to think i didn’t like him

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg87B77cA1n

i packed my own lunch

as well as a few other things

from the cabin

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg0TUQbShp

uncle seth shared his guns with me

camouflage patterned hunting rifles

i guessed the camouflage was

more for fashion reasons than practical reasons

it didn’t look like it was going to

blend in

very well

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuemBLc2RyI

uncle seth wore a camouflage bucket hat

on top of his fuzzy head

and pulled his socks up over his knees

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfjagwjZiT

we hiked a long way

into the forest

and my legs started to get tired

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXqexc3Qsj

“i think i see a deer”

he whispered to me

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47TJDL8DcH

“don’t kill it!” i said

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kA3kmGSvP

he looked through a little telescope

attached to his rifle

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMz85tjuvC

he looked for a long time

and i started to realise

he was going to be looking for a while

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCxuK0lEY

i looked down at the rifle in my own hands

i couldn’t properly wrap my head around what i was holding

so dangerous

why did uncle seth trust me with this …

weapon?

he must trust me a lot

or not know me at all

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXY1LgmG7a

i started to realise why people keep guns

only one reason

it’s just like money

it’s for power

to protect themselves?

or other people?

from what?

it’s just to be the one with a gun

rather than the one without a gun

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcliQEGXW7

i was looking down the wrong end of the rifle

it was hard to reach both ends

at the same time

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhfQl7s0Rs

why did uncle seth have guns?

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVMnW012Fp

for sport, i answered

but that didn’t mean anything to me

i never did sports

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LIR3nzZOg

“what are you doing?”

uncle seth was looking at me, concerned

“are you trying to kill yourself?”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ682kygad7b

“ummm”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHk2k4LA5t

“don’t tell me you’ve never hunted before”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeQbALtDKQ

“i thought you were teaching me”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsJ9tvPpXs

“here, jimmy”

he said, holding my hands in his hands

he placed them in the right places on the rifle

then he told me where to look

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ITb2Fnd2

i could see the doe he was pointing me at

she couldn’t see us

but i could see her eye

she knew something was wrong

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsAGVaVKUG

uncle seth whispered in my ear

“pull the trigger”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lRjp6PoxK

i pointed away from the doe

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uxc3ZOFBi

like he thought i didn’t know what i was doing

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe74RynySFS

5 things i can see...

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Y3RlGE64

he pointed me back at the doe

held my hand on the trigger

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDrl2wdejg

4 things i can touch...

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyhWfI9Z5m

his grip was strong

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ySrIHbIH

3 things- BANG!

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPO9SbLL9e

but when we pulled the trigger

i pulled away
