The air feels cold again my head feels heavy as though gravity is stronger for it... The ground feels chilled and rubbery, I hear some strange sounds that sound like machines of some sort. I sleepily open my eyes but I see nothing? I feel like i'm moving although i'm not moving any part of my body but my head. Confused and lost I cry out for anyone to hear me and help me.

I hear the sound of smashing ahead of me and it keeps getting louder hinting maybe it is getting closer! I panic as I don't know where anything is or where I am, I cry out once more and I hear footsteps. "Is someone there? I can't see anything please help me!" I cry out helplessly, my voice sounds as though it is muffled. "You poor thing who did this to you?" a soft male voice says. I feel hands pick me up. "Ah! Who are you!? Let me go!" I squeal as I kick and try to get away. The male simply replies. "You were almost going to get smashed by the conveyor belt... Would you like me to put you back?" "Please keep me safe!" I fearfully reply as he sets me down on a soft surface. I hear a latch shut and I try to raise my head only to hit it on a low ceiling. "Your going to be my pet now since I saved your life." I hear a door open then I am set in and the door shuts. "Let's go home now kitten." I hear a car engine start and feel motion. "Mr. uh... why can't I see anything still..." I whisper somewhat afraid. "You have a metal mask over your face... Someone must have abused you badly... It has a lock that i'm going to break off when we get home. You'll be able to see then." I curl up into a ball and drift to sleep.

I slowly wake up and before I open my eyes I feel my face and the mask is gone. I open my eyes and see something truly amazing.
