A wave of swirling water can frighten minds.
Insecurities arise from false images of the wave’s future.
Misperceptions of the wave’s current allow diverse reactions.
The water’s thumping impact on the sandbar possesses.
During intimate moments I am similar to a grazing sheep among its full herd with a little “MAAA” here and a mouthful of grass there. In these times happiness is always around. It is this way until the ferocious pack of blood-thirsty wolves plagues the plot of grass. The herd of my brothers and sisters that once appeared in a pack diminish in all directions as the vicious creatures terrorize, sodomize and eat the weak who submit themselves to the atrocious acts. The antagonist the wolves fear forms within my mind and projects off of my body. The magical potion I’ve consumed that differs from my weak and dead herd is solely ego laced with anger. I stand on my hind legs as my limbs grow long and wide. My fur violently rips across my enlarging chest and the wolves have spotted me. Good sheep do not hide. They cluster together using guerilla tactics in a wedge formation and charge at me. I can’t comprehend what I have done and am still doing because my mind is paralyzed by instinct. My arms crack into the shattered torso of the once strong wolf and my claws decapitate. The sharp pain that is created from the canine’s jagged teeth muzzled around my ankle pains the limb but enrages my body to react in an “eye for an eye” sordid way. The bite cleanly dismembers the once snug paw of the despicable wolf.
The remaining wolves run away from the sound of a distant, angered farmer’s buckshot. My once very large family is dead and they are surrounded by me. My eyes burn from the wolves’ tainted blood as the body hurts from such a brutal confrontation. The shepherd was on his way to lead us back to the barn. He sees me covered in bodily fluids and assumes that I am severely wounded. He raises his rifle and rests the butt upon his shoulder. I did not recognize my brothers and sisters; I mistakenly identified them as a pack of wolves.
