I couldn't breathe. The cupboard stank of stale bread and old wood. My eyes had grown accustomed to the dark, that I could pick out a crawling insect above me. I lifted my hands to cup it in and I felt tingling in the middle of my palm. I folded my hands around it and looked closer at it trying to identify the insect. Making out it's tiny features from the light from the keyhole, I conclude it is a termite. That I could handle. I threw it into my mouth and began to chew without much thought else I begin to gag.
I have been stuck here for two days and am sure my limbs had gone to sleep as I had lost feeling of them a while now. Through my keyhole, I have been able to keep in touch with reality. The light rays coming through the hole is sharp when it's day while at night it is almost non-existent.
Mama forgot me today. I should never have let her lock me in. I usually close myself in when he comes but Mama said he suspects where I hide and could tug on it if not locked. It should only have taken an hour. Am so cold and hungry and weak. Feeding on insects is not helping but I have always been brave enough. I am not afraid of a little darkness and hunger, those might have been my best friends for years.
I just hate her and her stupid promises. When she told me to get in the cupboard two days ago, she said, she promised she'd remember me.
