It was a warm, sunny day. |
She put a hat on to keep the sun out of her eyes. |
She needed to visit her bank. |
She walked down to the corner. |
There were four buildings at the intersection. |
One was her bank. |
Opposite the bank was a fast food restaurant. |
The other two buildings were a dry cleaner and an office building. |
Before she arrived at the corner, she could smell the fried chicken. |
The restaurant was open seven days a week, |
and the odor of fried chicken was in the neighborhood daily. |
She was a vegetarian. |
She used to eat meat and fish. |
But that was before she found a dead cat in her dumpster one day. |
Of course, she had smelled the dead cat before she opened the dumpster lid. |
Everyone knows the smell of dead flesh. |
She knew that something in the dumpster was dead, |
but she didn’t know what. |
Just in case it was a human |
(some people dump their babies into dumpsters), |
she opened the lid. |
She saw the cat. |
Flies covered most of it. |
They were enjoying their meal. |
She loved cats. |
She had two of her own. |
A week later at a restaurant, she ordered a hamburger. |
She took one bite out of it, and almost gagged. |
She spit it out. |
All she could think about was the smell of that dead cat. |
That was the day she became a vegetarian. |
What kind of children’s story talks about dead cats, the smell of rotting flesh, putting babies in a dumpster? You should get your head examined by a prison psychologist.
Are you a child?
Take it easy. This is not a story for children 😀
