perhaps... perhaps there is a chance for life penned up here- in this cage like the ones you use for breeding domesticated animals- for eating. but then, what are we but small, meek creatures whose separation- whose misery fills your stomach, feeds your desire for more disgusting foul actions and constant promises that it will be over soon. one day. we will return. somehow, we will return. there is a chance for life. 2008-04-19T00:35:20Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/26956 <p>actually, its about the holocaust&#8230;</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26956?basename=57369 2008-04-19T00:35:20Z Nouvelle Bardot http://ficlets.com/authors/user_bardot <p>Interesting perspective to look upon food from animals as filling up on their misery. Nice use of language here, I also enjoyed the flow, and I also agree with Mistress Elsha Hawk&#8212;I&#8217;d change fowl to foul. I get why you spelled it like that, it matches the theme of animals we make food of. Still I&#8217;d rework that small detail.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26956?basename=57300 2008-04-18T15:22:26Z Tad Winslow http://ficlets.com/authors/tjd <p>fowl actions? fills your stomach?</p> <p>reminds me of pens for chickens who cock fight, but I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s what you had in mind&#8230;. although some farms keep animals like this, veal, for instance.</p> <p>I&#8217;m not a vegetarian, so I try not to think about these things :)</p> <p>LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26956?basename=54875 2008-04-07T21:07:10Z Mistress Elsha Hawk http://ficlets.com/authors/mistress_elsha_hawk <p>Very dark but with a glimmer of hope.
