You ever pulled half the legs off a spider, you know, to see if it's still crawling around? Or bury a dog up to its head in the ground, see if it'll eat the dirt to get out of the hole? Pour paraffin over a parakeet to see if it'll fly twice as fast to put out the flames? Well, I have. All of them, and a lot more besides. The parakeet was my little sister's. My momma caught me setting fire to it, and it was quite a family to-do. Not surprisingly, I guess. My daddy wanted to send me to the shrink but my momma wouldn't let him. Instead, she bought me a beautiful little kitten. She made me totally responsible for it. I had to feed it, worm it, pay for its vet bills, all that kind of stuff. She figured it'd teach me the value of life over death, and I guess it kinda did. That little cat meant the world to me, and I looked after it like it was my own little baby. While I never hurt that cat, it didn't stop me from messing with other animals. Just made me better at hiding it from my folks.
