Dents in Your Wall

Do you have dents in your wall?

I do.

I knock the wall occasionally when I'm moving furniture or stumbling around drunk and falling over. Small concave abrasions on the animate wall.

...*inanimate. Sorry, it's cold and my fingers are shaking. Can't type too clearly.

There's a spiritual belief known as Animism, asserting that everything has a soul and a mind and, in particular, emotions.

Do you get angry when people hit you? What about if they do it repeatedly, over long periods of time? If you couldn't stop them, would you want to die? Would you want to end your pain?

Would you want to take your abuser with you?

I would. I would crush my abuser as a final act of revenge.

I would pour all of my rage into a sudden, desperation motion of freedom, of defiance.

Does your house groan and moan at night, when you are in your bed and completely defenseless?

Does it ever shudder randomly?

Mine does.
