Bastien
Done my time and served my sentence
Dress me up and watch me die
If it feels good, tastes good
It must be mine
Dress me up and watch me die
If it feels good, tastes good
It must be mine
Outside the barrier, he saw life.
Thriving plants, lush greens and deer...a scene straight out of a pastoral painting, something gorgeous and a far cry from the often dreary town he was now stuck in. He could not see any people but plenty of wildlife, strange lights bouncing through the branches and air. Bastien found himself entirely transfixed, noticing how the deer were turning to look at him as if they could see him looking out; maybe they could, like a double mirror--
"Aah!" Bastien jumped back away from the sudden voice with an undignified flail of his arms. He had been so wrapped up in the world outside he had not at all noticed Evie approach.
Trying to recover from the embarrassment swiftly creeping up the back of his neck, he folded his arms and assuredly told her: "It is not a danger for me, Signora. I have been gifted by The Voice. I can see through this barrier."
If the gift had meant to be a secret, that had not occurred to him.
