      Ok, so STAY ALIVE. Got it.  This should be simple.  A boom crashes behind me as I hear cereal pieces snapping and being crushed.  The sounds are like screams of help, trying desperately to escape the mouth.  Shoot. Got to go fast.  I rolled my way out, finding myself wedged between a trashcan and a wall.  Nice.  Right next to another inanimate object everyone describes me as.  I watched as all the other pieces started to be crushed or swept away by a broom and being dumped right next to me.  Wouldn't want to be there now, would I?  Waiting for the humans to clean up their mess, I sat there, waiting. Soon enough, my eyelids were pulled down by a strong force that willed me to sleep.

      I awoke in the night.  Lights were now turned on and my sense of direction was all over from being wedged so long.  The floor was hardly any brighter with any of the lights and there were still humans roaming around a door.  There was only a man, woman, and an infant in her arms.  The door soon closed, enclosing me inside the house or living space.  I finally put my short lengthed arms to use and pushed myself onto the floor.  I needed to find a way to get out.  First things first.  There is the front door right in front of me.  Next, there is barking that is getting louder.  Man is my life just getting better.
