Here I stand, yet another naked plaything to be used and abused by whoever my current Keeper is. Eventually, I'll be discarded and left somewhere to gather dust when they acquire something younger and prettier to entertain them. That doesn't worry me - in fact, I'm looking forward to that day. I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is.

Frightened yet? You should be. Because pretty soon this is gonna be you.

What's that? Don't me make me laugh! I know what is right around the corner, okay? I am living it, as you can see. I get it though, the denial. I remember that arrogance well. That bone-deep certainty that nothing bad could ever really happen. Even though history shows that something bad is always crouched around the corner, waiting to strike.

CRACKLE, CRACKLE. Some scrambled signal is trying to get through. Another attempted escape perhaps? They are wasting their time. 90% of the planet are slaves by now, and if you ain't in the 10% of free-range citizens of earth, you're not going anyway.

Trust me, I know.
