The Cunning and the Cost

This short passage, written in a restrained, almost documentary prose, begins like a naturalist's field notes. We are told of the cunning and caution of the Ussuri panther—an intelligent beast, attempting to outwit the humans who track it. The writing builds a sense of respect for the animal, detailing its clever strategy of hiding on a bough opposite its tracks, a creature perfectly in tune with its environment.

But the tone shifts sharply and brutally in the final three sentences. The narrative of a living, thinking creature is severed by the cold, detached line: "When we skinned the panther..." In that moment, a beautiful nature sketch transforms into a quiet tragedy about the collision of two worlds. The story is not just about a hunt; it's about the abrupt and final cost that the wilderness pays when it encounters man.

A powerful reminder that behind every trophy lies a story of intelligence and a lost fight.

What happens when a narcissist’s lie becomes the only truth people believe? Enablers don’t just support abusers—they rewrite history in real time, ensuring the victim’s voice is erased.

In this psychological horror exposé, we unravel the sinister bond between narcissists and their enablers, revealing how they manipulate reality and thrive in the darkness. 🤔

One of my favourite scenes in modern cinema. So much content. Subtext-rich, theme-focused dialogue perfectly delivered by two actors at the top of their game; misunderstanding, electric dramatic tension & finally realisation. All backed by a great Siouxsie and the Banshees track.
