I saw her standing there all ripe and plump. She looked fucking healthy and there was plenty of meat on her bones. She will do just fine. I need to get ready for the winter. I need lots of meat just in case it snows and I can’t make it into town for food. She is by herself in the market, mindlessly walking around with no fucking clue that I am watching her. She is mine and she doesn’t even know it. My fucking heart is racing and I can taste her before I even have her. I know she is going to be wonderful, just the right mix of fat to make her nice and tender and flavorful. It isn’t going to be long before I have her in my grasp.
The time is now, I grab her and take her back to camp. I shave all the hair off her body in preparation for butchering. She will provide me with meat to last a month or two at least. First I slit her throat and bleed her, just like a fucking animal. Then I take my time cutting off her head , arms and legs. Now to gut her and get all her innards out. I will save her heart and liver, they are my favorite parts and make for great eating. Once she is gutted I begin butchering her and creating fine cuts of meat. The flesh from her arms and legs will be jerky. Small strips of meat that I will salt and dry in the last days of summer.
I thank her for her gift of nourishment as I prepare the meat for the winter.
