Story: "Don't Try This at Home"
May. 25th, 2014 12:13 amThis story was inspired by
dialecticdreamer who sponsored the "waterboarding" square on my 6-10-13 card for the
hc_bingo fest. It belongs to the Schrodinger's Heroes project, taking place after the unscreened episodes. There is a related poem, "Sloppy and Wet," which details the original incident.
WARNING: The following warnings are spoilers, and also very intense. This poem is about extreme racism, bullying, and waterboarding, followed by the aftermath as one of the perpetrators is tormented by what he's done and therefore seeks advice on how to make up for it. The story does end on a relatively hopeful note, though. If these are sensitive issues for you, carefully consider whether you want to read this. Please make sure you're in a steady mindstate before clicking through. (Special thanks to
dialecticdreamer for offering to answer questions about the story from folks who aren't positive whether or not they want to read it.)
