Synopsis
I held the plastic top and gave it a spin. It moved fast at first, a spinning blur, then bumped into the walls a few times and started losing speed until it just… stopped. Right before it did, it tipped and wobbled awkwardly for a moment—so pathetic.
I kept spinning it again and again, but every time it was the same. Fast at first, then a wall, then stillness. Like some kind of rule you can't get around, in a world that swallows things whole.
Save the children…
