Entry #243: Poisoned Elephant Herd

While out watching a local elephant herd as they went about there business happily grazing on the local flora. I remember it was a little bit after twelve o’ clock noon time, and the weather was of average temperature. I noticed one moment, the elephants seemed to have spotted a lonesome bush out in the open. Now one may have had thought nothing out of this being as it seemed like it was just any other regular bush, but upon further inspection would reveal to me several distinct fruits that grew from the bush. One of the elephants approached the bush and extended its trunk and grabbed one of the fruits to consume. Next thing I knew, there came the rest of the herd; all encroaching on this bush. Without hesitation, all the elephants consumed the luscious fruit; one after the other. They seemed to have enjoyed the odd fruits that the bush offered to them. After they ate, they calmly went about their business as elephants all did. So far, things seemed quite peaceful, but the peace did not last. All of a sudden, one of the elephants appeared to have show signs of distress. The elephant quivered and moaned as if struck with a wave of discomfort powerful enough to stop the behemoth right in its tracks. The other noticed the ailing member, but were perplexed to what bothered the elephant. Soon the other members of the herd became queasy, before long the entire herd was struck down in their tracks. They belched over and over as their tummies became more and more distended. Their abdomens ached and their bellies bubbled and bounced in every direction possible. Soon their moans and groans turned to shrieks of terror once they realized they started swelling up at an ever alarming rate! Their bodies were produced so much gas that it was impossible to belch it all out fast enough. At that point, they were so swollen that they could not keep themselves up right. They weebled and wobbled as they used every ounce of strength to keep themselves up and balanced. One-by-one they started to loose their footing, and eventually their growing guts pushed their feet right out from underneath them. Rendered unable to walk, they were only able to watch in horror as they rolled and bounced at the mercy of their condition. They kicked their legs and wiggled their trunks as they yelled and trumpeted out for help. They begged for the bloating to stop, but their efforts were fruitless—no pun intended. The elephants bounced and boing-ed as there bellies ballooned bigger and bigger. Suddenly, one of the elephant—a female who was noticeably larger than the others—appeared to lift off of the ground. I was shocked! The once 5 ton beast began to levitate off the ground as if it was lighter than air; all while grabbing whatever she was able to in order to keep herself grounded. Eventually, she grabbed the tail of another female elephant with both her forearms. She held on to the other elephant’s tail for as long as she was able to, but eventually her grip gave out and was unable to hold on. She screamed and waved for someone to get her back down, but by that time she was floating up faster than before. The only thing she could have done at that moment was pray as she was carried away at the mercy of the wind. Eventually, not knowing what to do, I had to make the difficult decision and leave the area immediately. I felt bad for the ailing herd and still do to this very day, but I knew I had to leave not only because I had a duty to let nature do what it did naturally, I also needed to clear the area in case any of the ballooned elephants exploded. Although I never really got to know what happened to that herd, I’d like to think and hope they’re still alive. I particularly think of the one that floated away, and where she is nowadays. Perhaps every now and then, I imagine her looking down at me and smiling as she blows on by. However, in reality, she has probably since exploded or was popped by a predatory bird, or had a violent run-in with a commercial airliner, but hey, it’s fun to dream.
