Water Jar

[crow]

I think you just have to rename this. "Kindness"? It seems like the "moment" in question is . . . the moment when it's less about what the narrator is doing than about what's being done to the narrator? More specifically, it's not about the moment the car stops, when the chainsaw hits the timber, when the chain gets jammed, the moment the ax-man lands accurate blows, or the chemical moment (didn't quite understand the "turpentine" part, probably because I'm not that great at cutting trees down . . .)

So. Felix means "happy."

Is the final line the moment where the narrator allows himself a drink? Of water?

Boy, I want one or two lines describing how wonderful that is . . .
