MonaLisa this was such an excellent piece of writing—I’m going to re-read a couple of times to learn more how you both write. Truly, your stories are provocative and drama-induced, but you are a skillful writer!!! I do not miss a read!
As for the question at the end: it’s a 50/50…they’re putting so much effort to try to salvage a dead animal while still beating it to death. Sad.
And yet—how do you work so hard at something then to walk away??
I am curious: is there a right answer to it??
