Seriously. That's ridiculous.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

I think this is my favorite part of their FAQ:
Is running with the bulls dangerous?
Of course! Much like rock climbing, mountain biking, skydiving and other extreme sports, running with live bulls is an inherently dangerous activity (which is why it’s so thrilling). By participating in the run, you accept the risk that you might be trampled, gored, rammed or tossed in the air by a bull, or bumped, jostled, tripped or trampled by your fellow runners. We do what we can to minimize those risks by using less-aggressive bulls than those used in Spain and allowing runners to hide in nooks and climb over the track fence if necessary, but make no mistake: you could get seriously injured in this event. That’s why there’s a mandatory insurance fee during the registration process and medical staff on site.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
can I just melt them down and try again?
Yup. I've done it, it's fine.
Eta: unless you've got different layers you want to keep separate. That would be tricky. But I assume you would have mentioned it if that was an issue.

I can't get to sleep. The cicadas are too loud.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The bulls just want jogging buddies.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am indeed detecting a nonnegligible quantity of bull-related product in this plan.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
