To the rat-inclined,

There's nothing I can write to heal your wounds. I'm sure there's some behavioral therapy or psychedelic experience you could benefit from, but you and I know the circumstances that could alter your tattletale path forward are as likely as a cultist deprogramming from a lifetime of manipulation. The healing could start with you learning to feel safe without the rest of us being under constant threat, but that threat is where you derive control, your treasured slice of power.

I'm karma-inclined, but I don't hold faith in the supernatural, nor do I have the patience for your story to unfold so the rest of us can see what happens to you, if anything. The treasure I cherish most is the look in your eyes as you're launched from a bridge, mouth agape, a teardrop cascading down your cheek.

Love,
Captain Karma

P.S. I'd tell you to meet me at the bridge, but we both know you'd never show up.
You never have.

@tanweerdar Prompt 17 Feb: Mock

Three years spent hiding,
for fear of a mocking glance.
Now, afraid no more.
