Chapter 2: Fear
Sawney's eyes drifted open the next day to see his old friend and new lover lying just across from him, gazing at him happily. The two shared a good-morning kiss and then sat up. Bean pulled Sawney to his feet and then the two went for a walk, chatting happily.
Happily enjoying the morning sunshine, they continued to stroll together. Sawney began to reach for his lover's hand but then suddenly, several tiny flying humans appeared out of nowhere, landing on his shoulder and head. Two giant contraptions stood just out of view, which Sawney noticed while flailing in fear as the tiny humans began to attach ropes to his body, holding him in place. Glancing towards his lover, he saw that Bean was covered in tiny rope-spears and was being dragged towards one of the large contraptions. Trying to wrench himself free, he thrust out a hand towards Bean.
"GRUAAARGH!" He cried despairingly.
"Ruaaargh!" Bean called back, a tear running down his cheek, his desperate, fearful eyes the last thing Sawney saw before everything went dark.
