E is for Emotion: A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac

 3-436

Other words for E: Education, Element, Eternity, Evolution, Experience

Summary: A guy lost in the desert befriends and kills a panther.

Bonus: Dated memes

Commentary: The idea of this one is that you can tame an animal using its desires. That's a fair topic for a story (though a little close to last night's), but the execution here is kinda meh. The guy pets a wild panther into submission, then kills it when it plays a little rough with him. Feels kind of obvious, and short on details. 1/5 Not a great story.

I am thankful for absolutely nothing related to emotions. A bad word to pair with a bad story.
