10/10/22 Breaking the Cage (Part 5)

                                                     Breaking the Cage (Part 5)

    The morning sun rises and Hilton is quick out of bed, his tools already packed nicely in a bag in the car. He walks out and finds Morris already sitting in a chair in the main room.

    “Are you ready?” Morris asks.

    “Are you?” Morris says nothing but the two head out. “We can take my car, so that your plates won’t be recognized, and no one will know you were ever there.” Hilton throws Morris the keys.

    Morris starts up the car, “It will be about two hours.”

    “Alright.” The car ride is silent for the first hour until Hilton begins to gather some important information. “So what kind of security should I expect when we get there?”

    “There is only one elevator up to the cage and surrounding rooms. Usually there is just one man guarding the entrance to the door, he also has the only key up.”

    “I may need your help distracting the guard for just long enough for me to knock him out.”

    “Well then you’ll need him to open the door before you knock him out, the key is a password that only he will know. I should be able to get him to open it, so you will just have to wait til the door is open, then knock him out.”

    “Can do,” Hilton says confidently.

    “So who am I supposed to send this message to once you’re in?”

    “The government.”

    “The government? And what am I supposed to tell them?”

    “Tell them that I’ve destroyed their contract with the quad killers, let them know they can come and end the People Cage legally.”

    Morris is shocked for a moment by the information but takes it in as it is, “Alright, I will get the message to them.”

    “Thank you.” The rest of the ride is silent as both prepare for what is about to come.

9/21/22 Inhabitants of the Forest

  Inhabitants of the Forest The giant moose watched with its tiny human in the luscious green forest as the moon crumbled. A hand reached out in the sky and had taken hold of the moon. Harshly it squeezed, crushing the moon into tiny pieces.  The moose and the man did not move, they simply stood, staring at the whimsical sight in front of them. A slight breeze blew, waving the man’s cloak and rustling the moose's fur as the moon was crushed in the sky. The silent pair turned away and continued to walk through the woods. The moon was gone now, that was it, time to continue with life. Nothing would change for them, day and night would still come.  The forest grew a bit darker that day, no longer illuminated by the reflection of the sun. It was ok, the giant moose and little man just walked through the endless forest as they had always done; never staying in one place for too long.  This place was their home, they kept the forest as no one else would and no on...

11/22/22 Mykala

  Mykala “Mykala! Bring me a glass of water. I am thirsty,” her father shouts. After impatiently waiting for a few moments, no water is brought. “Mykala!” He receives no response. Begrudgingly he gets up and gets himself a glass of water. “Mykala! What are you doing? The pigs need fed!” She does not respond. “Mykala stop daydreaming and go feed our animals, that is your job!” After seeing no movement, he goes to grab the various scraps to throw in the pigs trough. “Must I do everything myself?” “Mykala! Light the candles, it is getting dark in this house.” The candles remain dark. “Do you want us tripping over everything we own girl? Why will you not listen to me?” he shouts. As he is lighting the candles his wife walks in the door. “Hello love, how was your day,” she asks in a comforting tone, rubbing her husband's back as he lights the last candle in the house. He says nothing, and only stares past the candle. The little flame illuminates a small portrait of a young girl....
