Visceral | Christie Fordham

After receiving this assignment, I kept my eyes peeled for something that would be perfect. Right after the class as I walking on campus I saw something that absolutely amazed me but made my stomach churn at the same time. There was a young lady that looked like a walking toothpick. She almost looked anorexic. Her attire didn't really bother me until I saw the belt buckle. To tell you the truth, the belt buckle was the first thing I noticed. This thing had to be the size of a platter. I am not exaggerating at all. Someone could have served vegtables on this thing. It was bright silver with a gold fringe that had engravings on it. I'm surprised I couldn't read the engravings because I think people could rent it out for a billboard.


Now the reason I think this is visceral is not the fact that she was wearing it, heaven knows I have no right to be judging someone else's attire, it was what happened in my mind after I saw her. How in the world could she sit down with this huge thing attached to her? It had to dig into her legs or stomach somewhere! My heart went out to her but I couldn't look away because it was so shiny and absolutely attracting my attention. After I passed her I had realized that she probably thought it was strange that I was staring right at her waist.
