The Execution


Walking The Strip after a long day, I was stopped in my tracks by a conversation.  It wasn't loud.  It wasn't aggressive.  It was the substance.  An unbelievable public humiliation of one man by his partner, in as calm, cold, and eerily masterful an execution as could be imagined.  As she listed what seemed to be an endless collection of reasons why he was inadequate, you could hear the odd mild mannered replies "I don't think I am that bad...", "that's not completely fair".  While it was clear that these two people were in a relationship, the absolute absence of respect, decency or judgement left me perplexed.  What added to my confusion was that all signs pointed to this being a vacation getaway for the happy couple.  

Life is way too short.
