I watched in horror when my father got captured and imprisoned. I stood frozen as he screamed out his last two words from the top of his lungs,
“SON, RUN!”
At that moment, I understood why my mother told me not to be careless and to stick by my father’s side. I should’ve listened.
If only I hadn’t been starving to death…
If only I ignored the temptation to get my hands on the piece of meat…
My father wouldn’t have had to save me and get captured in my stead.
“Ha! See?! Told you this mouse trap works!”
Humans are awful.
