Mirage (handcrafted)

He is free.

He is powerful.

He has magic – true magic!

He is alone – that is, alone in his own mind; he has total control over his own body. He runs and jumps and lays still and laughs and even cries of joy.

Free.

There is a world to explore; places to see; mysteries to discover and conquer; people to meet, and old friends to find again. A whole life for him to live.

(Four walls made of papier-mâché; vaguely familiar forms far beyond the cloudy sky; eyes that never close, a mouth that always smiles, because they're painted.)
