Pet

by Akwaeke Emezi

You want many things, you are full of want, carved out of it, made from it, yes. But the truth does not care about what you want; the truth is what it is. It is not moved by want, it is not a blade of grass to be bent by the wind of your hopes and desires.

CLOCK ITTT !!!!

There is no right thing, Pet replied. There is only the thing that needs to be done.

“You have to give us a chance, Pet; you have to give Lucille a chance to change.”

“Killing doesn’t help anything, Pet.” She was trying to keep her voice level, but she was shaking so hard. “It doesn’t help.”

Making something doesn’t go away confront the issue so you & people around you can learn & how themselves accountable !!!
