The Angry Snail

The Snail was born angry. As I watched him scream at the doctors in the delivery room I thought he didn't seem too happy to be here, looking back, he had good reason to feel that way. My sickness and the divorce with all its ugliness did a lot of damage to him, our sicknesses are doing the rest. The Snail believes in God, it's a big reason why he's so angry. While he struggles with his own bipolar hell he sees his future in me and has little hope. It angers him to believe God designed him, planned his life out before he was ever born, intended his trouble. Many times the Snail says he didn't ask to be born, maybe that's why he was so angry that first day, maybe if he had been given the choice he would have refused.
