how did i end up here?
he stands in the direct path of the bishop and his white horse, who remain completely still, the only thing moving being the horse's tail.
his eyes flicker over to his two friends clad in yellow and green, standing at a safe distance behind and out of sight from the man on the horse, and then back to the bishop. he knows there's only so much time before the bishop dressed in red approaches him. he's gotta do something.
