One in the Chamber
He had it good, for what it was. No one left to tell him what to do, or how to do it. Left behind after his species changed direction, he finds solitude his greatest benefactor. That is, until something still running afraid passes over his home.
Run, faster. Eat, whatever. Hide, in the light. Sleep, when you can. Easy to live by, if you do it alone. Harder, when some mutated pony comes tearing from the treeline right over top of your door. Difficult, when she falls in along with several cousins of mine. Annoying, when she goes and makes a last stand under my bed. Conflicted, when I realize just how hard she landed.
Name's Donald, and I know the end is near, because not only does this one talk but I'm starting to hear a bunch more up top. Now that I've killed another I'll no longer be tolerated, and we'll be lucky to make it another night. There's another bunker a day away, but not with her weighing me down.
