Description I love Franz Kafka, and this pic reminded me to his really short story:

A Little Fable
"Alas," said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into." "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.

Oh I love it! It invokes such strong feelings of isolation! Great work.

Thanks! No, the fable is written by Franz Kafka. I only illustrated it.
