*Voiceover Script

There was another one outside today. I just don’t know what we’re up against.  They seem pretty clueless…so far. But sometimes when the spot you, all you can do is… run. We’re completely unprepared for this, for whatever they are. We’re always on the lookout. We’re always scared. Nothing’s safe anymore. We’re strong. But sometimes it’s better just to hide. Because they’re stronger. And they WILL win.

FIN.
