I'm trapped. I think. Trapped in a little metal cage that slowly rises. At first I couldn't make out the shapes of anything, but then my eyes got used to the dim light and I could make out the shapes of crates and other randomly strewn supplies. In the corner there is a cage that contains some kind of farm animal. What is going on here? Why am I here? Why is there a bloody pig with me? I try to stand up, but I end up slipping on a rolling object on the floor of the box and hitting my head on the corner of a crate. I fall the the floor with a loud crash that jerked the box from side to side. There was blood slowly seeping down my face from a wound on my head. The world was fading quickly as the box came to a jerking stop. Light started flowing through a crack in the ceiling. The crack got larger and opened up into the bright sky looming in front of me. My eyes started closing and my head fell back. The first thing I saw before I blacked out was a scruffy boy with dirty blonde hair jump down beside me from up above.
