Today I heard a 'story' from a Tourist. The Tourist was upset. He had seen an Indian woman using what he thought was a dead baby for a pillow. The Tourist didn't want to look but he couldn't help but stare. The woman jumped up and grabbed the baby pillow by the legs. She approached him signaling for food with one hand while dangling the baby pillow by the other. The baby pillow wasn't dead – yet. The Tourist described the baby pillow as having bones for arms and eyes which were only half open: as if waiting to pass back into the oblivion from where it came.
The Tourist backed away and then walked as fast as he could away from the woman and her dangling, dying pillow of a baby.
What could the Tourist have done? What would you have done?
