5.Strayed
I was allowed out today. Briefly. Like a pet taken for a walk. I looked up, startled at being able to see through my own eyes, and you were there.
How long has it been? You looked thin, half starved, deadly pale.
Some things I remember.
I remember ordering you brought out into the daylight.
I remember having you beaten.
And watching.
I try so hard, but nothing makes a difference. I fight and argue, but he only laughs.
I don't know how much longer I can keep struggling against him.
My leash is pulled and I'm snapped back.
I hear you call my name as I am lost once more.
"Jack."
