#Despair is always unexpected....
Emma's POV
Emma:Conny?*Sees gloomy curtains,surrounded by a dark and eeeie atmostphere...*Conny,are you in there?
The turth of reality
*sees a little girl which looks like its being deep-fried and placed on a huge plate along with some champange*
And we are...
Emma:C...Conny?
This...is a farm.We are lifestock,to be eaten by demons.
Emma:*awaken by nightmare*huff...hufff.......
We'll be killed...No,we're gonna run.We wont let anyone get killed!
Phil:Gooood moooorning!!!
Gilda:Hey Phil!Stop running!
Mama:Mark,please place the dishes.
Mark:Okay,Mama!
It looks like a usual morning.
As it was all but a dream...
Norman:Morning Emma!
But it wasn't.
Emma:Good morning,Norman!
--------------------------------------------
(Flashback.Full moon shining brightly...and dark strangely at the same time)
Norman:Listen,Emma.We have to act as if we saw nothing .Tonight we break the rules and go to the gate.But we'll pretend as if we didnt see anything.
Emma:...But......Little Bernie..
Norman:Yeah.Mama WILL be suspicious when she finds him.But that alone won't reveal who did it
The things we did,the things we found out,the things we plan to do...we have to keep the secrets at all costs.
--------------------------------------------
All:Thanks for the food!!!
"Dont let your emotions show,Mama will notice." *BEEP* "For now...we will not tell anyone yet." *BEEP*
(On daily test,FYI)"Just the two of us will find....."
"...A way outta here!"
--------------------------------------------
*Its playtime.Ray's sitting below a shady tree,reading a book as usual.*
Norman:Did you sleep at all?
Emma:Yeah,but I woke up earlier than usual.This morning,I noticed something for the first time.The house's latticed windows...The screen attachment points cant be reached from the inside.And on top of that,the screw heads have been striped.
That place...Is a CAGE.........
Small signs here and there are carefully hidden within our daily lives:
Tasty FEED that never fails to satisfy...
The snow white uniforms that getting dirty easily ...
And our rigorously structured lives...They are all to preserve the quality of us in good condition...*Emma and Norman touch the "printed" ID numbers on their necks*
Norman:But the tests?If we are livestock,we shouldnt need to be educated.In fact,it would seem almost DANGEROUS to those demons.
Emma:"Six years old again...just the usual"..."Prepare the 3 with full scores"...What the heck are the demons saying?! Its more likely...that the age and score have something to do with the rank of meat?
But...
Why?Its not like getting full scores will make our meat...taste any better?
Norman:I dont know...
We barely know anything
Norman:The house...our world...We thought we knew it all,but in reality we know nothing .What does the outside world look like...RIGHT NOW?!?!?If you think about it,it's also strange that we're in the middle of the 21st century but there's not a single TV set or radio to be seen in the house.The inside of this cage is a manufactured anachronism.
