he's not supposed to be here ... someone, somewhere deep below is beckoning him. or is it up above? what's right anymore? he's not supposed to be here. a place beyond the shadow. that's where he belongs.

soon, the sun will come up and he will have to return to his hiding place. 𝘪 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴, his heart tells him. 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮, he tells himself. when it's bright, he can't see well. when it's bright, everyone can see the monster walking in daylight. not today.

like a broken program. doing tasks he's not supposed to be doing. malfunctioning. things that were not drilled in his head daily. 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 else taught him. programmed him to. not the owls.
