THOMAS POV: 

There was sounds. I started to slowly move up. I bolted up. I was gasping for air and scared. I stood on my hands and knees and looked around. I'm in a box. How did I get here? I can't remember. I tried to get up but went back to all fours as I looked down. It most be a elevator or something. I coughed a few times. There was a animal noise and I jumped back as I stood up. The box started moving faster. I got on my hands and knees and slowly crawled up to the small cage. I pulled the tarp back. ANGRY PIG. I flew back again. I stood up and started banging on the top. "HEY, HEY, HELP ME" I yelled. The box reached the top and stopped. I fell on my butt and looked around scared. The red light turned green and then darkness. The top opened and I used my arm to shield my eyes from the blinding light. I slowly put my arm down and saw a bunch of boys. They was a few small laughs. Two boys opened the gate. A boy stepped close to me.

I scooted back afraid. "Okay go get him" said a boy. The boy jumped down and hovered above me. "Day one greenie. Rise and shine" said the boy. I was confused. What is a greenie? The boy grabbed me and dropped me outside of the pit. I laid on the ground scared. "He looks like a sloppy to me" "Ya I could use some help in the kitchen" the boys kept speaking. They are all boys. Not that I care. I'm gay. Wait how would I know that? I can't remember anything. I got up and ran. "HEY WE GOT A RUNNER" a boy yelled. I kept running. I need to get out of here. I tripped and rolled over a few times. I heard the boys laugh behind me. I landed on my stomach. I then noticed the walls. I slowly stood up and looked around surprised. Where am I? The boys ran over to me. I started running but they caught me. I tried to free myself but there was too many. I was tossed in a cage. I sat up and turned around. The boys locked the cage and left.

"He's all yours" said a boy. I slowly stood up and walked to the cage. I put my hand on the cage and looked out. A goat jumped onto a bag or something. "Hey" said a boy walking in front of the cage. I flew back scared. The boy squatted in front of the cage. "Hey there green bean. You're not gonna run again. Okay" asked the boy. I said nothing. I don't think I will run. "Good" said the boy. He unlocked the cage and opened the door. The boy squatted again and held his hand on top of the cage. "My name is Alby" said the boy. "Now can you tell me a little bit about yourself. Who you are, where you came from. Anything at all" said Alby. I tried to think. I can't think of anything. "No" I mumbled while fighting tears. "Can you tell me your name" asked Alby. I started to get nervous. "No, I uh I can't remember anything" I said looking at Alby. I started to panic. "Why can't I remember anything" I asked. "It's okay. Hey relax. Relax" said Alby. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. How is this all okay? "That's normal. It happens to us all" said Alby. That's a relief I guess.
