I am trapped, not a future.
I am not a future but I am a past.
I am a past but alive. I am alive but not tomorrow.
I am a Thylacine. I am endangered. Help!
I am the last of my species, no escape.
I am in twisted wire, no escape.
Nearly bones - just bones.
Adult or child, anyone. Help.
Please, help, anyone, trapped now before it's too late!
Remember me if it is too late. Save Me.
