The Zoo/"What sedative?"

From Create Your Own Story

"They shot you with a tranquilizer dart," the rabbit says. "We think that's what's fucked up our memories. Although, they might have scrambled our brains while we were knocked out to make us more docile. We won't try as hard to escape if we can't remember the people we left behind. If we left people behind." He looks glum and thoughtful for a moment, then he forces a smile. "I'm Jesse, by the way. At least, that's what I call myself now since I don't really remember who I used to be before the attack."

"What attack?" you ask, not sure which is more unsettling--that you don't remember an attack, or that you can't remember your name.

"I don't know," Jesse says. "From what we've pieced together, there was a chemical or biological attack on the country. We don't know who did it, but it killed a lot of people, and some of the people it didn't kill mutated into humanoid animals. We've been calling ourselves 'furries'. The normal humans call us freaks and monsters and they've decided we're not fit to live in their society. That's why we were brought here."

"Where is here?" you ask.

"Beats me," Jesse says. "We were told this is one of many 'preserves' set up for our own protection, but it's really just a prison, an internment camp, a reservation, so the 'normal' humans can sleep at night knowing that the animals are in their cages. That's why we call it The Zoo."
