A Verdict From The Hatchet

Slit. Don't slit.
Cut. Don't cut.
Eenie. Meenie. Miney. Moe.

Wonder where the names came from. Have you ever wondered?
Those four names, of which 7 syllables became the most important counts we use to decide things.

Important. Unimportant.
Yes. No.
Cut. Don't cut.

My eyes are starting to water. I can't think. I'm devastated from everything. The sight of a knife in my hands. The water running, filling up the sink. And the drowning feeling inside my chest.

I watched over as the pot sounded its shrill.

I cried. I cried. I cried.
But I chopped the onion, anyway.
