suicidal ideation

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUGtPgvZPC

i pretended to be happy

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCu7fsqi9

i packed my own lunch

as well as a few other things

from the cabin

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzuoBNnLei

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB8tsyk1rf

uncle seth wore a camouflage bucket hat

on top of his fuzzy head

and pulled his socks up over his knees

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy6xXns3PH

we hiked a long way

into the forest

and my legs started to get tired

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49FW6UYU7y

“i think i see a deer”

he whispered to me

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBkPlhKItF

“don’t kill it!” i said

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHXchwOyLB

he looked through a little telescope

attached to his rifle

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyoG3qu98D

he looked for a long time

and i started to realise

he was going to be looking for a while

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHYy5oQbWf

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdSFmTROSg

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNCU8FR5Jy

i was looking down the wrong end of the rifle

it was hard to reach both ends

at the same time

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMRVx4hMlL

why did uncle seth have guns?

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYzeRWGy7I

for sport, i answered

but that didn’t mean anything to me

i never did sports

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVAHoPq3Bb

“what are you doing?”

uncle seth was looking at me, concerned

“are you trying to kill yourself?”

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy5JV9HxEU

“ummm”

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI0D09nXbW

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMKIyjXDTc

“i thought you were teaching me”

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7uRKGwrlZ

“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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgunthiZnxx

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFoW8sEqMz

uncle seth whispered in my ear

“pull the trigger”

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1hGEqshH7

i pointed away from the doe

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOy4JYldSZ

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

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8zgm3Vvrk

5 things i can see...

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZuq0eEtO

he pointed me back at the doe

held my hand on the trigger

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih35ikQIPq

4 things i can touch...

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PVCsLiC1t

his grip was strong

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnaSfX9uxs

3 things- BANG!

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0zwN7DIaY

but when we pulled the trigger

i pulled away
