Chapter One: Tomorrow

---

The small figure slowly moved closer to the light. He knew he couldn't reach it, but as close as possible was enough. He stretched his hand, and his small clawed hands reached out from behind the solid stone bars to the source of the light.

He failed to touch it, again. But he still felt the warm light mocking him, a tingly feeling at the tips of his fingers.

He retreated to the darkness. Tomorrow, he will try again. Tomorrow.
