It starts, a sheep grazing by a ledge, slips, falls in to the void, and is gone.
Another turns to bolt there after, not wishing to miss out on greener fields.
Another jumps as two have gone and cant be wrong.
Next some jump through an involuntary reflex
Others follow out of pure fear.
The penultimate jumpers demand to confirm the apparent gain.
The final sheep leap for fear of being left alone, not knowing that the first have perished.
An adaptation of " The Onion Rings " No.14 The Book of Lies
Sheep have been known to follow one another over a cliff or precipice. This idea is used here to demonstrate how confusion can arise once any idea or perception of importance arises, also examined is the chain reaction of meandering thoughts that arise in those in close proximity to such a happening. Of course the original happening that starts this chain reaction is often a mistake or mis-understanding, hence I mention No.14 Well that was fun, Ive really enjoyed writing this...
