suicidal ideation

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggpFkIUQBA

i pretended to be happy

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFDdPaXRxo

i packed my own lunch

as well as a few other things

from the cabin

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCGZ6OgW6

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHm0MDSHPa

uncle seth wore a camouflage bucket hat

on top of his fuzzy head

and pulled his socks up over his knees

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy09tvGJAW

we hiked a long way

into the forest

and my legs started to get tired

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBLBau3LS5

“i think i see a deer”

he whispered to me

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS00DRCHIKn

“don’t kill it!” i said

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSfCRRzhHr

he looked through a little telescope

attached to his rifle

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4arORvadVJ

he looked for a long time

and i started to realise

he was going to be looking for a while

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LtuqPXaFC

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvkkcHZazb

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvrx3UNu8T

i was looking down the wrong end of the rifle

it was hard to reach both ends

at the same time

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPp2GnEGgj

why did uncle seth have guns?

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BnXCqMWPB

for sport, i answered

but that didn’t mean anything to me

i never did sports

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tjvgOXt4

“what are you doing?”

uncle seth was looking at me, concerned

“are you trying to kill yourself?”

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fF5ksJ4ho

“ummm”

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSePXHXpoZ

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGopZw5kBy

“i thought you were teaching me”

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZJhX2CtKI

“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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfq0T4s0j

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjwsr8VMwJ

uncle seth whispered in my ear

“pull the trigger”

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBiIGSyLmC

i pointed away from the doe

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnufvFLBb6a

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

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmcbUV3wJ

5 things i can see...

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGagZId3mT6

he pointed me back at the doe

held my hand on the trigger

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvtKSsN5vW

4 things i can touch...

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw6XGVU6Nj

his grip was strong

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUY3vZap40

3 things- BANG!

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXMuZxfWQa

but when we pulled the trigger

i pulled away

end.419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdldigXkO2
