Mum, By a Bear I Am Being Eaten

On a mobile phone a distraught mother listens How her teenage daughter was being torn and eaten Alive by a bear and its three children. In her own voice She cried and said, “Mum, by a bear I am being eaten” A nineteen year old Olga gave almost an hour-long Running commentary about her agony all along In three separate calls very, very disheartening She cried and said, ”Mum, by a bear I am being eaten”. In second call she said, “The bear left and came back” With her cubs and are eating me with renewed attack” Hearing this any mother would have died there and then She cried and said, “Mum, by a bear I am being eaten” In third call she said, “Mum, it is not hurting anymore Now I don’t feel any pain, mum, everything is over Forgive me, love you so much” the call cut and deadened She cried and said, “Mum, by a bear I am being eat" +++++++ April 24, 2014 Formj: Kyrielle Seventh Place win Contest: Helpless by Cindy Macmillan The rhyme-scheme: aabB, ccbB, ddbB,eebB In a recent event Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave a horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls to her mother as the wild animals mauled her in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, in the extreme east of Siberia, Russia.

Congrats on the win, Ram. How awful for all involved... I cannot imagine the horror. Thank you for this entry. It is also a profound statement on how man has destroyed nature to the point that nature feeds off man. If the bears had enough to eat, they would not have attacked humans. Truly you have shown us what real helplessness is... for the victim and her mother...

oh my gosh, that is so horrible. I thought you were making it up. To think someone would keep being eaten for an hour like this?? Incredible and tragic. A very interesting idea for a kyrielle!!

Hi Dr. Mehta, I finally found time to read some of your works. You did a masterful job on the Sonnet Quo Vida and you have great story telling skills. I liked this bear story. I am shocked to know it is true. Keep up the good work. Regards, Earl
