This was horrible to read, but so insightful of those people who believe it is their right to exploit the lives of others to further their own purposes.

He sounds so trustworthy in the beginning, but by the time we read "This could make my reputation," it is clear he is only after personal gain and cares nothing for the subject.<br /><br />Perhaps this also tells a story of humans in which a woman has left her husband and is after some young "guy nobody" just because she is so starved for attention and affection, and this "hunter of art and lover of beauty" comes after her ... but only for the trophy, not actually for her. Then she is left starving while he boasts of his conquest.<br /><br />"but I can't keep the grin off my face as I stow the last of my equipment" ... Ha. Yeah, "equipment." :)<br /><br />I love the irony in your title. The piece begins as if he's describing nature and the animal kingdom as being magnificent. But by the end, we find out he only thinks he is magnificent.<br /><br />This may all be taking place in a bar or club. "I take several dozen shots at high speed" Although that is some seriously excessive drinking. ;)<br /><br />I posted a new word list.
