Fiction

[yukinoomoni]

I just had to close the store for a few minutes because I couldn't stop crying. I was reading a book that had a scene in which a dog was being beaten by her owner with a 2x4, and no one would do anything but a woman with Tourette's. Her pastor came by and told her that the dog-beater wasn't committing a sin, because dogs didn't have souls, so it didn't matter what happened to them. I finished the chapter, started bawling, then closed the store and cried out of view from customers.

I cried over a fictional dog in a fictional situation. I know it's not real. But what it represents is real, because there are thousands of evil people like that every single day beating their pets for no reason other than they're angry. And 90% (I'm guessing) of these pets are only saved when they die.

So I had to cry. And I still feel teary. Because sometimes I feel like that poor dog, and every single day I get beaten with a 2x4, and everyone around me just watches, because they're afraid they'll get hurt, too. But at least I'm lucky enough to have places to run to. Pets already think they're home, and that their home is the safest place to be. And that makes me hate the world even more than I already do.

What does that even mean, anyway? I know it's a heart, but you use it a lot. What are you trying to even say?

[caster13.livejournal.com]

It means "I heart you".

It means "I heart you".










<size=-3>Which means "I love you".</size>

Stupid broken HTML >_>

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Yeah doesn't really make any sense

[caster13.livejournal.com]

How does "I love you" not make sense?

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

All i could see was the html. cut me some slack for once.

[caster13.livejournal.com]

Sorry :( Our browsers must've showed different things.

I'm not quite sure what the comment would do for something like this, anyway. I appreciate it, though. I know you mean well, or at least I assume you do anyway.

[caster13.livejournal.com]

Why only assume instead of completely knowing? :(

:( I'm just as sobby about kids (usually ones with disabilities for some obvious reasons) in books. Then I keep reading them anyway because I'm an idiot.

I hope I could help you if you needed it, I hate just sitting by and watching if I know what's going on. :(

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

I'd rather you help animals.

[jenufa.livejournal.com]

Do I have to help the squirrels? They ate my flower! AGAIN! :(

I feed the stray (aka left behind, grrrrr) cats in the complex. Poor kitties. I feel bad I can't take them in for fear of deadly allergies of death. :( I suck.

[jenufa.livejournal.com]

I had a point. I already help animals. You're technically an animal. I should help you! WITH ICE CREAM.

Also, when are you off work? I have a babysitter!!! Oooo. :P

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

I'm off at four, but I'm way too depressed to be near people today. I'm honestly just going to go home and get changed, then head back out and walk around the lake. I need a detox or else I'm going to go even more crazy.

[jenufa.livejournal.com]

Aw, okay. If you happen to see me lurking around, just ignore me.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

No, I won't ignore you. Just because I'm feeling anti-social doesn't mean i would ignore you.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

That sounds....really horrible. I'm sorry.



And I'm sorry to launch into a story, but that reminds me of the one time I burst into tears because I had to kill a monkey in Twilight Princess. It's alright to cry at fiction, because sadly fiction mimics real life.



And we've all felt like that dog sometime.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

I feel sick when I have to kill wolves or wild dogs in video games. I just let them hurt me instead of killing them.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

Oh god DA2 y u make me kill all these doggies? >.< Stupid RPGs sending animals after me.


I didn't feel bad killing Blight Wolves in DA2, but that was probably because they were infected and I was doing them a favor by killing them?

*hugs tightly and sends you away to run through a field of puppies*

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew of something to say... but I understand, and I'm here if you ever need to talk. *hugs*

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I really hate animal cruelty. It's sick beyond redemption...
