Odin

I saw a cat today. This cat I will remember for a long time. The cat had a single eye. His right eye was missing. In its place was an empty socket that was still weeping. Clearly, the cat had been attacked or abused. On closer inspection, the lack of injuries on the rest of the cat led me to believe it was abuse...by a human. The cat gave me a forlorn look, as if asking me what I was looking at. Well, for that I named him Odin. Odin, too, had a missing right eye, which he sacrificed for the sake of knowledge. Like Odin, he did strike me as a sort of trickster, and yeah, it was that look. I'll never forget that look.
