No... Leave me alone!!! Don't touch me....
These are the sounds I wake up to at night. The endless screaming, the crying..... If hell was on earth this would be it. I have been here for as long as I can remember. I honestly don't remember a time when I felt the sun on my face. I must have at one time. It's not possible that I could have been born in this hell is it? I don't know how old I am or what I look like, iv never seen myself. All there is is the ever present darkness. Endless blackness that sucks in your soul with every passing moment. I'm not very big. I fit in my cage with some room to spare. I deserve this hell. My master was so good to me, he loved me. But I betrade him. I didn't understand that he just wanted to protect me. I was so caught up in my own selfishness I hurt him. I deserve to be in this cage like the other animals he sales. Its only a matter of time until he get's rid of me. I'm honestly scared. Even though I deserve it I'm scared. Is it selfish of me to feel this way? Of course it is. He kept me safe. He gave me my special cage with a soft pillow and thin blanket. He was the one who came and got me for my walks, wouldn't let the men hurt me like they do the others. He even let me sleep in his bed after his fun time. I didn't mind "fun time" to much. He loved me, and I love him. Even if I don't particularly like fun time I love afterwards. He would hold me close to his chest, telling me how good I was, how proud of me he was, and I would feel so safe. I screwed it up, and now......I have to pay the price of my actions.
