When I was a child, I read in a book of folk tales a story about an evil sorcerer who takes a boy as an apprentice, and as one of the tests, he shoves his hand into the boy's mouth, grabs his insides, turns him the wrong side out and commands the boy to turn himself to the right side in on his own. Anyway, here is Garak and his dad.
#very evocative image if you read it first as a 7 year old.#folk tales are usually very formulaic and minimalistic in their written form#as they are mostly meant to be repeated verbally#you guys know the gist - youngest son of a poor family#a talking animal#an evil wizard#and then - boom - one if the most haunting mental images that will haunt you for years.#anyway.#enabran tain#garak#star trek ds9#deep space nine#ds9#gore#tw gore#my art#arttag
