100 Things I've Photographed #002: Amber

"Thing" is probably a bit harsh, but anyway...

I know what it is to live in fear. I know what it is to live under the harsh iron jackboot of oppression, to be the servant - although "servant" implies free labour as opposed to possibly the more descriptive word which is slave - of a violent and capricious tyrant with a mile-wide streak of pure sadism running through her black heart. Although she is not above the most blatant emotional manipulation when that's what seems to be required to ensure my complete and unquestioning obedience to her Will...

What I'm trying to say is, I own, or more precisely am owned by, a representative of the species Felis catus.

And yet, I love her. ;)
