I have no idea why they have spared me. Never before have these people – these monsters – shown any semblance of sympathy, not even for themselves. If it could guarantee their survival, they would gladly tear the heads off of every single member of their division without a second thought. And the humans in their charge… They are no better than dogs to them. And if a dog bites its owner, the only solution is to euthanize it. My mother bit back. We all know that the way we’re living is unjust, cruel and pitiless. But most of us just sit back and take what we can get, because we know the cost of trying to speak up for ourselves. They outnumber us, and their level of strength is greater by dozens. My mother was an example, a warning. They don’t kill all of us, just enough to keep the rest of us in line. From my hiding place underneath the bed I can just see the outline of my mother’s body.
