“Although we must be miles from government headquarters considering we have been walking forever, the faint barking of the dogs can still be heard in the distance. It reminds me of the wolves we heard when living in the Free Lands. They weren’t any less frightening, either, as they usually warned of danger.

The guitars sound angry and a man scream...s words along with it, his voice raspy and strained. I try to envision what kind of person would listen to such odd music, and hope we won’t be running into them any time soon.
