Day 1,232

With a stuttered inhale every head inside the cage opened their eyes all at once, formerly silent mouths now gasping for air as they tried and failed to examine their surroundings. Once they all seemed to establish that they were stuck in their positions, they began to contort their faces instead, working through an array of emotions before settling on annoyance.

It was the largest one that tried to speak as though they still had a functional neck and vocal chords. It took them a fair few frustrating moments before they resorted to overly exaggeratedly mouthing out their words instead, or rather, their orders.

Open            The            Cage
Have            Been            Trapped            Too            Long
Free            Us            Now
Now
            Now
                        Now

And on, and on they went demanding that the cage be opened to let all the living severed heads roll out onto the floor and onward to some better place, should it even exist.Perhaps it did not and they merely wished to be able to look around them rather than escape their fate in its entirety.

Captivity is so cruel to the mind, surely releasing them can't hurt?
