Snails

I have a huge veggie patch in my garden I have peas and potatoes coming and a huge sweetcorn and tomato crop is expected. It's something I wanted when we moved over.

I had to massacre the snails though - they were eating all my peas and brocolli. I lifted up a board and there were about 12 huddled together. So I picked up the spade and hit them, again and again. I was blinded by a mixture of disgust and rage. Once I started I couldn't stop; the horror! I learned a lot about myself that day. Now I kill them with impunity.

I have become a monster.
