Un-self-knowing human propensity for violence – even in a vacuum …

You See It Happens Like This

a man
comes up to him and asks him for directions
but he doesn't know any directions
so to get himself out of a potentially
embarrassing situation
                                                he kills him

the first problem is the page is blank
there's nowhere to hide the body
       he starts to realise
he's in a bit of an embarrassing
situation
