– the virus did not catch him
since he was sitting inside the prison.
Moon ate the dark
– his private darkness was suddenly a sanctuary of light
and a shelter from the storm.
Moon ate the dark
– they had locked him inside a vault to keep him away,
but now they understood, they had locked the cure for the pandemic inside as well.
Moon ate the dark
– his lonely cocoon was suddenly the securest place to be
in the world rapidly spiraling towards pure mayhem and fear.
