Ebih the Careless Mountain

Ebih has been around forever, and Ebih sees all; she has seen all and she has gotten tired of it; by the time the Batak massacre happened, she started to question her own interest; when Nanjing happened, she got even more self-aware; when Katyn came around, she began to become distracted and preoccupied by people who showcased different talents than in the grisly art of malevolence... by the time My Lai, Halabja and Srebrenica rolled over the threshold she had become so distraught by the human sadistic grotesqueries as to alienate from them in bitter spite and foresworn those who carried them out, and by the act of doing so, she did not longer weep for the humans, nor much care at all... and so the ghosts of all the men who had fallen from the mountain-sides lamented even harder, because now they had gotten their recepit for hopelesness, a slap across the face from mother herself, what an abrupt end to a purgatorium eternal but in ever failure! And at the realization of her cold aloofness, they wailed spectrally like funereal children! And the crime of their downfall? Love. Yes, simple, pure love.
