Drabble Challenge #41

Prompt: denial

So, about that romanticised view of the 'natural order of things'...

Baloney. NATURE kicks you when you're down.

Think about it. When you become compromised, here comes everything under the sun: parasites, diseases, infection, weakness--in a vicious feedback loop.

You can experience one hindquarter eaten by a lion, and your pain sensors haven't the courtesy to shut off.

Be glad you're somewhat removed: being human is all about second chances! Excepting the occasional asshole-you-thought-was-your-friend, most folks are more likely to help you back on top, than consume your organs with opportunistic glee.

Back to Nature: an exercise in denial.
