Something that is Ours

by JamesMcMullen

The Famed Mimic Gogo reflects on what has brought them to the dark place, what has happened to them, and what it means to have something which belongs only to them.

2. Chapter 2

They are here.

They speak.

We cannot. The last We spoke with Our voice was in the Hateful Water, and that was the Last of Us.

We will follow Them.

They have pains and joys and loves and losses.

We have nothing but what the Green Others and The Beast give us, and that is only sadness and hate and fear and hunger.

The Hunger.

We would sate the Hunger that The Beast has for life.

We would slake the Thirst the Green Others have for joy.

We will leave, with Them, though.

They go to the Outworld.

We do not remember this Outworld, but They do.

We will follow Them.

They will welcome Us.

And They will become Us.

And We will become They.

And the Hunger and the Thirst will go.

And We will feel the mind and heart of Others.
