of sadistic or masochistic- whichever one it3

is, nature... 4 days of crazy-ness. Poop. pee. urine-4

smelling aromas, pulling up underpants, pulling down5

underpants- stained with poop, underpants, feeding with6

a spoon chopped, diced hot dogs, watching as pee7

drenches a man and the floor beneath him even8

though he stis on the toilet- playing with himself,9

get new dry clothes, put one on the bathing 10

gurney, pump it up, pump it down, dry with11

towels, pick up and put in a wheelchair,12

can't walk, im growing muscles.13

II. so- she said: yes, but youd be doing it all16

for nothing, not: hey, great job- A-student,17

top of her class, was one of 50 chosen to18

participate in a question/answer session out 19

of the entire school, but all she says: yes,20

but...21

III. -im proud of you, my daughter, you've managed24

to write and publish a book, graduate an A student,25

top of your class as a veterinary assistant, 26

    This is very deep, and really does portray feelings well. I noticed a few spelling/punctuation errors, I might suggest rereading this piece aloud so you can pick them out and edit them.
    I enjoyed reading it, and thanks for sharing!

    Wow, this literally screams its feelings from the page doesn't it? I like the way you encapsulate the thoughts of your character and the way this is structured. Always good to read something different that isn't afraid of pushing away at the boudaries. Interesting and innovative write, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
    Cheers.

    hmmmm

    This was a tad confusing for me, but since it's prose, maybe that was your intent...I was really into the first part, I thought it was great... but then the girl being a vet threw me. I don't know if it's the same person, and if it's not, I don't know how the two relate. It needs a good editing to put in quotes where needed, correct spelling and missing apostrophes. I would've liked to read more about the first charcter and how he/she deals with that job.

      May I suggest to you with your apostrophes and correct spelling and your "quotation marks" that you read "Tarantuala" by Bob Dylan- a book of poetry, and that you watch the movie: "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest", and then enlighten me with your confusing commentary on my confusing writing you've read...
