Inktober 2017, 23/31: The Wolf and the Housedog

A WOLF, meeting a big well-fed Mastiff with a wooden collar about his neck asked him who it was that fed him so well and yet compelled him to drag that heavy log about wherever he went. “The master”, he replied. Then said the Wolf: “May no friend of mine ever be in such a plight; for the weight of this chain is enough to spoil the appetite.”
Nothing can compensate us for the loss of our liberty.

– Aesop’s Fables, translated by George Fyler Townsend

張り詰めるほど冷え切った空気に赤く鈍い朝陽が差してきたころ、淡く染まる富士の裾から国鉄色が現れた。
