Cow Mitosis

August 3, 2014 Ryan Grayson

On the side of a country road, I stopped to take a picture of the cow staring at me. I pulled my camera out, popped off the lens cap, turned it on, held it up... and suddenly there were two cows. It startled me. Did the cow split into two?

I stared into those eyes. They know I'm a meat eater. I don't know how they know, but they know.

"Come play with us," I could almost hear the music from The Shining with flashing visions of the bloody killing floor. "Come play with us, Ryan. Forever, and ever, and ever."
