suicidal ideation

i pretended to be happy

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVotltIke6E

i packed my own lunch

as well as a few other things

from the cabin

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Y93bGW99

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFyVYbsUVN

uncle seth wore a camouflage bucket hat

on top of his fuzzy head

and pulled his socks up over his knees

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRnCFvCv3z

we hiked a long way

into the forest

and my legs started to get tired

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKfS8Ozd7r

“i think i see a deer”

he whispered to me

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXPbMUHgg1

“don’t kill it!” i said

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KeN2N3BNt

he looked through a little telescope

attached to his rifle

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi7NuGDaB9

he looked for a long time

and i started to realise

he was going to be looking for a while

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJIzgtUL2X

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPdf0YDXo

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG26DjoQYT

i was looking down the wrong end of the rifle

it was hard to reach both ends

at the same time

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd3UUThzLr

why did uncle seth have guns?

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcvif2XtAM

for sport, i answered

but that didn’t mean anything to me

i never did sports

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrBXxbtfTu

“what are you doing?”

uncle seth was looking at me, concerned

“are you trying to kill yourself?”

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeyZlxaivp

“ummm”

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGGFMWC9QD

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Al8wIQ33

“i thought you were teaching me”

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9IzTTqqLe

“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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzX8EaZMY

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60IcAe8RLQ

uncle seth whispered in my ear

“pull the trigger”

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6noCZkFtWc

i pointed away from the doe

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGBPuRD5uq

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

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTZdV6zHXP

5 things i can see...

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdnXiChTPk

he pointed me back at the doe

held my hand on the trigger

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKblLlukQ2

4 things i can touch...

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnsTAESVyK

his grip was strong

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMh0c5lzQg

3 things- BANG!

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ3U6OS0Td

but when we pulled the trigger

i pulled away
