BLOOD AND GRASS
(First exercise from the storytelling workshop I'm taking. Write a story based on Fight Club and a butcher's shop) I remember very little from my childhood. I know I liked to walk in circles through the field. The smell of freshly cut grass. Warm milk. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine I’m there. Calm. Naive. But suddenly, the smell of blood pulls me out of the trance. I open my eyes and see them there. Between the hooks that hang from the ceiling. They look angry. Their eyes remind me of my father’s. The sound of their punches gives me chills. So does the sound of their teeth falling on the cold floor of this place that has witnessed so much pain. So much death. They fight and then they fight some more. And all I want is to tell them to leave, to leave me alone with my hooks that hang from the ceiling and my smell of blood. To let me rest in peace in this, my new home. To have some mercy on me since I remember so little from my childhood. So I scream. As loud as I can. I scream but they don’t hear me. It must be because men can’t hear ghosts. Especially a cow’s.
