The crash echoed through the silent room, a brutal and unexpected sound. The cage toppled off the table, knocked down by that desperate and futile force. But the freedom gained was nothing more than a cruel deception.
On the cold floor, Tara was hopelessly trapped. Her eyes, human and full of despair, stared at the furry body approaching — the rabbit. But this was not the Tara she knew. It was something different. Darker. Colder.
The rabbit, now master of that body, slowly bent down. Her human eyes shone with a cold, almost cruel light.
“You think you can just come back? That you still have any power? Naive.”
Without a sound, Tara tried to move, but her tiny, nimble paws could not form words. Only eyes — eyes begging, screaming for help.
The rabbit smiled, a smile that did not reach the mouth of an animal, but rather the disturbed mind inhabiting that body.
“This is your place now, where you will stay... forever.”
With a quick movement, she grabbed Tara — now trapped inside the rabbit — and placed her inside a large box where several other rabbits stirred, their eyes shining in the dark. A small sanctuary for lost souls.
“You will forget who you were, forget what you are, and accept what I am.”
The rabbit settled beside the cage, her gaze fixed on the human body that had once been hers. A silent, threatening presence.
“The machine is too far away, and even if you tried...” — her eyes flickered — “there is no way back. Not for you.”
And in that solitude, with the muffled sound of the other rabbits, Tara felt the end of her humanity drawing near. Fear froze her heart — trapped, forgotten, lost.
