Daddy Bear Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 a dark metaphor on the futility of the human quest for happiness. it came to me at 3 AM the other day after listening to some Nine Inch Nails. Out Of Their Misery (Kind To Be Cruel) poor perspective, if you will two-and-a-half dimensional thirsting in a bombed-out city but all the water's boiled away a pity the search for the invisible something not quite physical rifle scope is trained on hell magnifies her face of death so well oh well i still hear the planes i hide in my shelter to sharpen my brain i read Helter Skelter i'll burn her remains and wish i had felt her suffering's a crime her blackened skull is mine line it up beside the others empty shells of mutants' mothers there's food down here, and ammunition and best of all, i have a job a mission sometimes i fake a broken leg and once they're close, i got them pegged just mercy killings, not for sport i'm sure they knew that life was raw and short you know every habit demands that you feed it and if you don't have it you think that you need it run after the rabbit 'cause though you won't beat it you'll never change your mind no, not in your lifetime Link to comment
Steven1607307306 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Wow. that was quite amazing. The way I interpreted it was you take advantage of other's weaknesses. Correct me if I'm wrong though, just my own interpretation Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 it wasn't about me!!! i just wrote it in the first person because it seemed more ominous that way. the protagonist in the story was killing women because they were slowly thirsting to death, and in his own deranged way he thought he was doing them a favor. obviously, the right thing to do would be to share what he had, but he lacked a sense of self-sacrifice. the only thing i've shot in the last 20 years was a pumpkin, lol.

vandgsmom Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yes, you were definitely listening to NIN at the time... I liked it, but it creeped me out... I LOVE it when words can evoke an actual emotion. GJSB! Link to comment
