There's someone behind you.
There's someone behind you.
Turn around to meet them. Maybe they'll greet you.
Reach out your hand. Touch their claw.
Be taken aback by their claw.
Ew they have a claw.
No thanks. Turn back around.
Ignore.
Ignore.
Ignore.
Ok maybe claws aren't that bad.
Turn back around. There's someone behind you.
Look up at their face.
What you see is a face.
Wow it's a face.
That's exciting.
Now their eyes, look in their eyes.
Oh a distant stare.
Touch their claws again.
Why do they have claws?
Ow they're sharp.
Ow.
That hurt.
They give you a bandage.
How kind.
How kind.
How kind.
You're happy now right.
They had a face.
They gave you a bandage.
But they did hurt you.
You don't want to see them.
They hurt you.
The bandage helped but they hurt you.
Good bye.
