The library
The naked slight man with a HARE mask stepped into a library, it was a library of one book, one book that had been published so many times. It had handwritten manuscripts, gold leaf titled editions, publications in many many languages, some no longer spoken, through to recent paperbacks illustrated for children. It has a copy of ever single published version from the last two thousand years. It is an enormous library.
The naked slight man with the HARE mask ran a finger along the shelves stopping eventually at a small well thumbed English edition with few illustrations. It fell open on the page about the history of the war between the eagles and the hares.
The naked slight man with the HARE mask reads, raises a finger to touch the HARE mask and understood the choice of mask. T
he naked slight man in the HARE mask is the hare, had always been the hare - a great thinker driven to fight the inequality from a well-to-do family always saying: you are going to do great things.
But the naked slight man with the HARE mask is not charismatic, and has none of the qualities of a leader and has never done a great thing.
The naked slight man with the HARE mask is just a hare.
