Last Stand
I've been finding my self falling in love with the defiant last stand of tragic heroes. I think this has something to do with the way of death that I was talking to Maxie about a few weeks ago. Knowing that death is coming... Dying for someething that you believe in. That's the kind of death that I want to have. To give an example of a defiant last stand I'll paint you a picture...
A hawk with brown feathers tipped with crimon flies with the wind, and the golden thermals of heat coming up from the mountains below cradle him aloft. His vision focuses on a movement more than a mile below him. The clouds part in the wake of his vicously curved maw, and his wings tuck closely to make him a living missle. He streakes through the air faster than sight can followl; the ground rushing up to greet him. He spreads his wings and opens his razor sharp talons in front of him. The mouse sees this at the last moment... death approaching him faster than lightning. He doesn't cower or tremble. Running would be useless now. Instead he raises his paw steady as a mountain's roots and extends his middle finger.

Finally blogger decided to let me on my name. I love the picture. I've had mice and rats as pets. Not once have I seen them give someone the finger, but still the concept is awesome. I've always wanted to die doing something. To pass away in my sleep seems really boring and anticlimactic. I’d rather die in pain for something than die painlessly for nothing. I love the mouse.
