Thinking Inside the Box

Reito slammed a fist against the metal wall. Not even an echo answered.

"Would you stop that?" Darren said. "Why are you even bothering?"

"They've taken us from our homes!" Reito snarled. "Locked us in a prison! Who knows how much longer we'll live?"

Darren shrugged. "Could say the same for everyone outside. We were starving and cold. In here," Darren laid a hand on the wall of his box, "we're warm and fed. It's not such a bad deal."

"You'd be their pet?"

"It worked for dogs for about ten thousand years. Maybe being the dominant species is overrated."
