My name is 191

Learning to speak

I woke up to the man on the speaker

"Good morning 191" he said and I nodded sitting up in the fetal position.

"How are you feeling?" I made a fist and pointed my thumb down showing I was mad at being woken up early. I understand I'm a test subject but I'm five! I need my sleep!

"Okay we'll let you sleep for a little bit longer then you have to do a test deal?" Wait that was the brown haired mans voice! I nodded and happily went back to sleep

-a hour later-

I woke up to the sound of the door opening. I was happy to see the man in the brown hair but then I saw the other scientist and frowned.

"Okay sweetie we know you can talk and we're gonna show you some words okay? All you have to do is try to say them." he said his voice kind I nodded sitting up on my bed. He placed the word Apple on the table.

"a-a" I softly said and the brown hair haired nodded encouragingly

"a-apple!" I whispered. You see I can't talk that well because of a tube in my throat. That tube is how I eat.

-2 hours later-

I had learned to say basic words like apple, dog, cat, tree etc. They were amazed I could even talk then I had the greatest idea. I pointed at the brown haired man with my clawed hand

"Name?" I asked softly. The brown haired man looked at the other scientist who nodded

"My name is James"
