RE: The Beggar and The Dog

in The Ink Well3 days ago

It is a sad ending, and I'm sorry to upset you, @gen-quimba. In my country (and in many parts of the world, I believe) a homeless person falls off the radar. It's a terrible thing that happens to many people, but solutions are elusive, so people who have homes often look away. I wanted us to look at one person. Unfortunately, dogs seem to get more sympathy than people, so I put the dog in there.

It is also true in my country that the fate of homeless people, after death, is often in a medical school. Nobody claims the body so the medical schools use them. It's a terrible fact, one most of us don't like to think about, but in my story I ask people to look.
