Today was another adoption day, which meant me seeing other humans, seeing as how we were "shown" separately, to try and prevent gossip.
Finally, they called me down. I was kind of annoyed, because I'm never chosen, and I was in the middle of a hilarious video by Prestonplayz. This video was making me laugh, which is rare, and because I was upset about being called down in the middle of it, I didn't expect to be chosen. Sure enough, the couple decided they wanted a different child, and one of the really girly girls left us instead.
This was my life every day. Watch YouTube, doodle, eat, read a book, and repeat. I didn't really have any close friends at the orphanage, and all I had for friends were my books, which isn't as depressing as it sounds.
"One day," I hoped, "one day this will change."
That night, I lay awake in bed, thinking about everything my life was. Sure, I had plenty of books, and games for the PSP, and everything I might want, but that's just stuff. I want it, and I enjoy it, but I don't need it to live. I sigh, and finally find rest.
**Dream**
I sneak out of the house, off to a forest nearby. In the cover of darkness I turn into my favorite animal, a red fox. I figured I could do this at the orphanage, but it seemed like such a well kept secret. It was something of my own. I sat in a patch of moonlight, grooming my fur, when a guy, maybe 21 or so, stumbled out of the bushes. I quickly scampered off into the shadows, to observe and see what was happening. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he sat down in the same patch of moonlight, and lit a flame in his hand. It wasn't big, and it looked like he could keep it controlled, but still, I had no wish to come closer. I lay down watching him, and wrapped my fluffy tail close around me. He just stayed there, watching the flame. I fell asleep somehow, and when I woke up, the person was gone. I stood up, stretched, and ventured out of my hiding place. The next thing I knew, two hands grabbed me, and the guy with the flame, now extinguished, was holding me.
**end of dream**
