me and Jacob where enjoying a meal made from leaves when we heard the siren go off.
"it's ok, hon, keep munching, there's nothing to worry about." he said. I was only half reassured.
"thanks, dear," I said anyways. we sat in near silence, the only sounds were the blaring sirens and the sound of our herbivore teeth grinding leaves to a pulp.
[munch m unch CRUNCH!]
then. the lights. at first we thought that guy fieri had drifted down from the heavens to give us building supplies and fast food for our constant worship of him. but it was much, much worse.

there were airplanes. and huge floodlights, swiveling through the woods from above. and Landing on us. theyd found us. but me and beloved Jacob were content here, we were Creatures of the woodlands. the ghouls.

Jacob grabbed my hand and pulled us up. we sprinted through the pitch black Forest, the planes and lights frantically searching for us. Jacob pulled me into a small hollow under a fallen tree"it's ok hon, keep munching, there's nothing to worry about" he said again.
and again.
and again.
and again.
"jakey, honey, you're malfunctioning again. I bet it's this horrible spring rain.@ I said. it's only the fourth time his inner mechanisms have gone haywire, but it's something to be avoided at all costs. when he malfunctions too badly, Jacob sheds his human disguise and shows his true form. is quite scary.
just then.
the searchlight fell upon us. it was the military, searching for my baby Sartorius.
we were cornered to a tree.

it's the end for me and baby sartorius bot 3000.
