It was the night of June 23rd, 2013 when the SuperMoon<\/a> broke free of the heavy clouds over the Indian Ocean and bathed us in it’s light.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Crabs could easily be spotted running in the moonlight from rock to rock, skittering crazily along in the sand. A couple of the guys decided to dig a hole. I didn’t pay much attention to them, as the moon was mesmerizing….<\/p>\n

“Look at them go!” \u00a0<\/i>I heard one of the guys shout. I wandered over to see what all the commotion was……<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

to discover they had caught two crabs, put them in the hole to watch them fight Gladiator style.<\/p>\n

I watched for a few until I felt a sharp pain in my chest.<\/p>\n

Heart attack?<\/i>
\n
\n<\/i>No, just my conscience rearing up, making me feel sick about what I was witnessing. It wasn’t right, it just seemed cruel.<\/p>\n

I walked away, out towards the ocean waves with the SuperMoon as my guiding light.
