The Young Lady's Guide To Improvisational Corpse Disposal 3864 words "Hit him again." I don't want to hit him again. "J'you hear me? Said hit him again . Or do you want to find out what happens to selfish bitches who say no to me?" I don't want to hit him again. I want to turn and explain to this guy that defibrillators don't work like that. That if I charge up the paddles and hit him again, it's not going to bring his friend back to life. This isn't Frankenstein , I'm not some mad scientist, and his buddy here isn't anything but a stiff forever. This isn't my fight. This isn't my life. If I hit him again, the only thing that's going to happen is that it's going to burn whatever's left of him and it's going to smell somehow worse in here. …show more content…

The shotgun clatters to the floor. I watch for another second — his red flannel shirt smolders. Catches on fire. I'm alone again. He's gone. Just like that. Maybe I should explain. # I don't n ormally spend my nights like this. Normally I'm a nice, normal girl with a nice, normal life in a nice, normal town. Normal, normal, normal. But even normal girls get the kinds of calls they can't ignore sometimes. I light another cigarette and use eve ry ounce of strength I have left to heave the second dead asshole into the shower stall, right on top of his friend. Blow smoke at them and take another long drag, hoping it'll help the smell of death and burned flesh and voided bowels. It doesn't. I st are and wonder the quickest way to get rid of them. Not like I have time to pile them both in my trunk, drive out to the desert and bury 'em. I could just leave them, I suppose. Walk out, lock the door behind me, pretend I was never here. But odds were , someone would come looking and find them like this. More attention. Lots of physical evidence. So no go there. No, it seems to me the only real option is the chemical. Melt them down and flush 'em down the drain. Proper Heisenburg - style. No muss, no fuss. Just

  • Midterm Exam: Analysis of “The Wounded Platoon”

    1876 Words  | 4 Pages

    PBS’ Frontline film “The Wounded Platoon” reviews the effects the Iraq war has had on soldiers as they return home and transition back into civilian life, focusing particularly on the rise in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among American military members from Fort Carson Army base (Edge, 2010). Incidents of PTSD have risen dramatically in the military since the beginning of the Iraq war and military mental health policies and treatment procedures have adapted to manage this increase (Edge, 2010). In “The Wounded Platoon,” many military personnel discuss how PTSD, and other mental health struggles, have been inadequately treated (if at all) by military mental health services. Reasons and Perdue’s definition of a social problem allows us to see inadequate treatment of PTSD among returning United States military members as a social problem because it is a condition affecting a significant number of people in undesirable ways that can be remedied through collective action (Reasons & Perdue, 1981).

    They believe that if this is not done, the dead person may become a wandering ghost, unable to properly live after death and ultimately a danger to those who remain alive. African peoples have a common custom of removing the dead body through a hole in the wall of a house instead of through the door. It is said that this will make it difficult for the dead person to remember their way back to the living especially because the hole in the wall is immediately closed. Sometimes the body is even removed feet first. A zigzag path may be taken in order to get to the burial site, or thorns scattered along the way, or even a barrier hoisted at the grave itself because the dead are believed to strengthen the living. Others take special steps to ensure that the dead are easily able to return to their homes. Some people are even buried under or next to their homes. It is believed that at the graves, the spirits hover over on the earth and are restless until they are brought home which is seen as an extremely dangerous situation for the family.Family members even take some of the earth covering the grave and put it in a bottle and proceed home with the assurance that the deceased relative is accompanying them to look after the family as an

  • 'Common Scents' By Lynda Barry Analysis

    242 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Lynda Barry’s Common Scents, she considers scents a demon for many reasons. One reason being that everyone has his or her own scent preference and scent in general, yet we also judge the way that other people smell. When the woman whose house smelled like a fresh bus bathroom talking about the smells of different Asian people’s houses, Lynda notes that she was “free with her observations about the smells of others” (18). She sprays her house with disinfectant sprays and air fresheners, which to her smells better that whatever her house smelt like before, but to others, such as Lynda’s grandmother, these smells are too strong and are trying to hide the fact that not everything smells good all the time.

  • What is Considered Normal in our World

    862 Words  | 2 Pages

    To be considered normal or abnormal has been just a label society places on you to explain individuality. When we are younger, we were given a mixed message that being different and unique is acceptable, however growing up in a society that wants you to blend in and adhere to the norms and usual customs of that culture is difficult. Being dissimilar often leads you to be judged and considered deviant. What you perceive not only defines your idiosyncratic judgment, so does your culture, prejudices, upbringing and generation you belong to. In our modern day society a universal normal has not, nor ever will exist. We think, look and all act differently and the reality of it is, no one is normal.
