The thick smog of Thneedville presses down, turning the sky a sickly gray. You sit on a lonely park bench, eyes closed, trying to shut out the city and the past. A sudden, deliberate tap on your shoulder cuts through the silence. Your eyes open, and your view is filled by a tall, pale figure looming over you, blotting out the dim light. The Onceler stands before you, his dark hair framing a face you know too well. His blue eyes, once warm, are now chips of ice, holding you in a gaze that is cold, familiar, and demanding.
