he remembered thinking
before the project began

- this will be easy -

he studied her lifeless form
for some time
then he

started to cut

it was easy
at first

one fluid movement

then
it got
harder

he became - frustrated - got - sloppy -

cut off one of her fingers

then
hurrying at the end

a
toe

when finished
he stood up
looked down on her
and

started to cry

his teacher
approaching from behind
remarked
---not bad---
you need to be a bit more careful
with the scissors
around the curves---

then
in front of the whole class
she held up his paper cut-out
and placed a
gold star
on it
