Collecting
We are a family of collectors. We have diverse interests and collect many kinds of things. Rocks, stamps, small pieces of licorice. Even seeds. In the summer we often catch tiny snakes and lost children, poking and prodding them with our feet until they are packed closely together in boxes. Their end is swift and humane. Each specimen is examined and labeled, so dainty and lovely. See their tiny stomachs? See their scaly tails? We pin them up side by side. Such little dears. See, this pretty little fellow looks very cheerful, almost as if he could speak to you.

Great story. A nice beginning middle and twist ending – though after reading it again not totally unexpected!
