Night Vision, Part Two
It was all I could do# to stop myself gagging.
On we went though,# until we got to two large swing doors.
We lined up outside#, looking like something from a TV film.
All of us in our black tops and trousers.
All of us wearing black woolen hats.
When Mario raised his hand,# we pushed the doors open.
I had thought I would be prepared# for what I would see, but I was not.
It was sickening.
There were rows of glass boxes on tables.
Each one contained an animal.
Or a part of an animal.
I was too stunned to remember# what we had said we would do.
The others seemed to feel the same.
For a few seconds, which seemed like hours,# we just stood and stared# at what lay in front of us.
Suddenly, we were jolted back to reality.
Hey you lot!# What do you think you’re doing?
