CONSUMED BY LOVE // Looks like the cat's staked its claim. "Share a meal with me?" it asks, swinging tail brushing the corpse. "He's still partly fresh." It has been a while since you last ate. Can't be choosy in hard times. You sit with the cat and roast the horseflesh over a fire. It's tender meat. It was a beautiful horse. Not much older than a colt. "Ever been in love?" The cat is making small talk. "Well... imagine that you loved someone so much that you could not bear to think of life without them. If you did truly love someone like that, and they didn't know it... and you were brave enough to tell them... and they rejected you... do you think you would be able to just... move on? I can't imagine having the capacity to let go of something like that," the cat shakes its head. "I wasn't able to. But he's inside me now. And you, too."

By personifying animals and attributing human-like traits and experiences to them, tall tales create a more removed lens through which human behaviors can be observed more objectively. Animal stories can serve as allegories for broader social commentary, providing a neutral space to think critically about societal issues or ethical dilemmas without directly implicating humans. While in tall tales, we often encounter animals that impart wisdom and encourage humans to ponder their own actions, it can be uncomfortable to be faced with our own primal natures and emotions reflected back at us. In this story, we are reminded of our capacity for extremes, that extraordinary love can easily veer into terrifying obsession.
