tiger show

it has been ages since i last seen a shop selling canes, you know, the type that is used to whip children? i bet you've forgotten they exist. i guess caning is so out of fashion that even shops don't sell them anymore.

when i was young, there was always a cane hanging on a hook in the living room wall. ever so often, i'd be chased around the house with the whip whip sound close behind. then the next day i'll go to kindergarten with tiger stripes on my arms and body, and chances were there'll be some other kid with the same designs on their bodies as well.

this was considered so normal back then that no one even bothered. i'd even see some psycho mums wielding the cane on the streets sometimes, caning their children whenever they get out of line. now i think people would scream child abuse at the mere mention of the cane and probably call the police and spca and the newspapers if they saw children with cane marks on their bodies.

soon caning would be just a legend that parents use to scare their kids. The Legend of The Cane. everyone's heard of it, but no one's ever seen it before...
