Abstraction Pt. 5

Walking into a room full of puppies. They muzzle into ones legs and nip toenails. The puppies grow into beautiful white sheep, strong willed yet they follow a wolf. Over time the wolf takes each sheep aside. He asks each sheep, “Do you have the will to be a wolf”? Most sheep ponder the question for a mere second, saying “no” in the end. However, there may be the odd sheep that takes the time to think about it, they may say, “yes”.

In these rare instances the wolf will take another sheep from the herd, kill it and feed the odd sheep a mutton feast. If the sheep is willing to cannibalize its brethren it is given the privilege of becoming a wolf.


There are also black sheep, rarer than any sheep converted to wolfdom. These sheep are given the same opportunity and treatment by the wolves as all the others. However, when they are asked if they have the will of the wolf, the black sheep rear up and stomp down the wolf. They butt and kick until they slay said wolf. The black sheep then surpass the confines of hierarchy. They become a being unto themselves. While they are still dependant of others, they choose not to follow. Black sheep understand the meaning of life and love and they attempt to slay wolves in order to protect the white herds.

To slay may not be to kill.
To love is to love unconditionally.
