It came out pristine. The quarreling couple on their backpacking journey sitting more than a meter apart, their legs dangling over a simple stone bridge with no railing whatsoever.

I wonder what must be going through their minds. Murder? They are alone after all, no one would stop either of them. Or maybe they’ll be boring and put up with each other. Where, I wonder, is their breaking point?

It’s been days now and I want one of them to act out, but they’ve just been quiet. Perhaps it’ll drive them both insane, and then they’ll break? Humans don’t do well with silence, although I’ve seen them survive days. Although I guess some monks and nuns and various other religions have had some believers go years.

No worries though, I’ve got another week and a half to snap them.

The picture is clear, although the corner has a bright Sun shining a disruption into it. The couple took to one of them sleeping outside of the tent. They’ll break soon, no human would like to sleep outside for a week and a half.

Come on, let there be blood! Betrayal! Something! Simple humans like this shouldn’t be so dang determined to survive silence! They haven’t spoken since I first spotted them on the trail, and I had been clear another had sewn the seeds of hate in them.

The woman slipped, tumbling down the slope. The man doesn’t even turn, not to help or anything. Yes! Yes! Betrayal! Not as good, but it’ll do. Look at him, walking along without a care, it’s like she has no meaning in his life!

A rock is thrown up and hits the wall of the cliff just in front of him. He pauses and turns, an angry look on his face.

The woman finally wants a fight! Haha! This’ll be even better! Run to her and tear her throat out!

Aahhahahaha! He’s sliding down the slope at her, his eyes wide with adrenaline. She waits for him, stanced and ready to fight!

He’s too her now and—! What?! No no no no no no no! What is he doing? Is he making sure she didn’t break anything? A false ruse! He’ll snap her leg and leave her to die! ...o-or she’ll grab his head and snap his neck? ... WHY AREN’T THEY DOING ANYTHING?!

...ugh, humans are so boring and... is that sign language?! They’re deaf?! Then why did—?! How come—!? ARGHH! I give up.

Humans don’t break like they used too. I’m getting too old for this. Why can’t humans go back to being primitive killers, lobbing spears at anyone they don’t recognize?

I guess I am reading too much into my hope of them killing each other. I should really have followed Bill and Dave to where the chimps are, those creatures would murder each other, they are still primitive after all. Or octopi, I think Claire went to see if sea creatures are able to be affected.
