Okay, George said flatly.
He reached a hand down and kneaded the dead animal's ribcage.
And what is the purpose of killing?
We do not kill, George, I was quick to answer.
We never kill.
Animals kill, George said.
Well, wars are complicated.
When people really want something badly enough, they kill other people to get it.
Absolutely, George said.
I took George back into the house, careful not to mention anything to Chelsea about the raccoon just yet.
She was already freaked out by George, and I didn't want to exacerbate things.
We turned off the television and let him tag along with us as we happily frittered the day away.
That night, Chelsea and I decided on a name for the baby.
Matthew.
Day eight.
In a decision I regretted almost immediately, I caved over breakfast and told Chelsea about the raccoon and the minnows.
She got sick at the idea.
She called him a cold, emotionless machine and implored me to shut him off before he got any more ideas about death.
I reassured her that George was harmless.
She spent most of the day in bed.
