A lake, a field, and an AK 47

PHNOM PENH

i watched a thousand bats spin pirouettes chasing mosquitoes over boeng kok lake in phnom penh.

i saw a thousand skulls stacked in racks to remind the children of the atrocities of their fathers.

i held a weapon designed to destroy the flesh of men and fired fifteen bullets in rapid succession into a wall of stacked black tires.
