She Tried to Keep it on a Short Leash

Description

Many people agree that a healthy imagination is good. But few discuss the possibility of an imagination that becomes too robust.

It shyly curls a tentacle around your ankle and tugs gently on its leash. "Wouldn't it be good to make those oatmeal raisin cookies that you make, but add chocolate chips to the batter? What do you think? Would your coworkers like them? Why don't I get to meet your coworkers? Do you think they'd like our pictures? Why don't you let me meet more people you know? If you had to eat one of your friends, who would you pick? Would you do a casserole sort of thing with their meat, and freeze a bunch so you'd have dinners for a few months? Would their ethnicity influence the recipe you chose? I think some sort of lasagna would be nice. Shouldn't we wear that really dark matte eggplant purple lipstick to work tomorrow? But maybe only on half the lips... like, not the top or bottom, but only half of each. Wouldn't that be an interesting look? We should draw something when we get home. Don't you think it would be fun to illustrate a children's version of "Story of the Eye"? Like a Candy Land version, and all the characters are gingerbread people. And the eggs Simone plays with are Cadbury Creme eggs? And the priest's eye is... I dunno... a jawbreaker or something? Wouldn't that be cute? Can we draw that when we get home? Why don't we get to draw all the things I want to draw? If all you ate were apples, do you think your body would just start excreting applesauce instead of shit? Let's only eat apples for a week. Can we do that? Fuji apples are the best. You should do a silhouette drawing of a pack of lambs tearing a man apart. It would be cute. Can we draw that when we get home? Or find a really gory battle scene, and draw it with babies instead of soliders. And you have to do a baby's head on a pike. I don't care if it's a modern battle scene, one of the babies has to have another's head on a pike. Do it in a cute style, do it do it do it. People would like it! Do you still have those itty bitty wiggly eyes you got on clearance last year? Bring them into work and attach eyes to everything in the breakroom. But discreet, like. And see if anyone notices. Wouldn't that be fun? Do you think your coworkers would know that you did it? Why? How do you think they'd know?"
