Escape,
from what.....the Village? Why should I want to be doing a thing like that
then? Didn’t you know that there’s a beastie out there, lurking to ensnare the
unsuspecting escapee? It’s a terrible creature that can divide itself and vary
its size, oh it’s a terrible thing alright. It comes at you, and you can’t
fight it off because it offers no resistance. And yet once it begins to smother
you with its white membrane, there is no escape. It’s a terrible experience
right enough, one I have not myself experienced, but then I’m not daft enough
to try and escape in the first place. That Number 6 tried, several times. I
remember when he made himself a cage, it was designed to protect him against
the hellish Guardian. And it did, up to a point, until he had to divest himself
of said cage, then he was vulnerable, open to attack. So when in the Village do
as the Villagers do, keep your head down, your nose clean, and they’ll look
after you................for as long as you live. That’s one of the benefits
the Village affords its Villagers, a very good welfare system!
Be seeing you
