eskimos?

instead of doing my homework, i was flipping through salinger's nine stories and re-read "just before the war with the eskimos" again. i won't explain the story but the last line reads "a few years before, it had taken her three days to dispose of the easter chick she had found dead on the sawdust in the bottom of her wastebasket." if you've read it, good for you... it'll make sense. if not, then go to the library and ch-ch-check it out. anyhow, it's a little depressing but that's what happens when inspiration comes from salinger.

it has taken me
three months to dispose of the
past life we once shared.
