They take quick, short breaths because they don’t live long. Not that they know it, I am sure they think they live a long time and considering the fact that they are aware of little less then being alive it’s hardly a surprise. They exhale all at once to refill their lungs like they are reluctant to give it up: oxygen, water, nitrogen; anything that is a contributor. Curiously they need little to nothing to really maintain existence and yet they are so motivated to preserve life. I have heard of one or two of them actually self destructing with an overdose of adrenaline. Their blood pumping too fast for their poor little veins and their quick beating little hearts exploding inside their chest. Every time I think about them it reminds me of how meaningless their sad little lives are. I envy the simplicity, the closure when they fall asleep and don’t wake up. They live short little lives but they don’t know it.
