Ah!
The shattering of lives
I am surrounded
< Come. > Yells the Tiger
I obey.
Later I will learn that he
is Jake
The leader.
For now all I care about is
freedom
I follow the Tiger into the
woods
I am still obeying
I still think
I will be free of you
Then it hits me.
I am running.
Under my own control.
The world sways
and I fall.
< Uh-oh. > says the tiger.
The world turns black.
