als Lebten die Engel auf Erden

------
To kill an angel is the most sacrilegious game. It should not be too difficult: evolution made it easier to kill those who are unlike, fur, feather or fin. The strenuous part is learning to be a good predator again. Tracking, lurking and luring would only feel too natural. Your prey spiritually transforms you with its shiny, shimmering scales.
Triumphant smiles come after. The face of the Earth has changed and there are not enough elephants; but you can still dream about your prey, just as 90% of your ancestors did. When all farmlands are scorched by the heat, those who run from the fire would be hunted for fun. Something feathered would make a good meal, something with adequate fat for your brain. This fatty angel is older than God and hunting her also is. Like all good stories, Homo will probably end like how it started. Hunting will stay - it will be our future.
