As I turn to see what the sound was I discover I am trapped in a cage. The cage is clean but contains nothing but me. Where am I? I wonder why I’m in a cage and how I got here. I peek out through the metal bars. Everything is white and metal, cold, clean and sterile. I hear a voice in the distance. The voice comes closer and I slip quietly away from the bars, hoping the voice will not see me. A man enters the room. He is dressed in a white lab coat and carries a clip board. His voice is abrasive, deep and frightening. I instantly know he is not my friend.
As I glance around I see the man in a white lab coat is injecting dogs like me with a needle. I hear their cries and shake in fear, knowing I will be like them soon. Scared and whining. I miss my Soft and my home and wish I could go there now. As I think of Soft her words pop into my head “Always stay close to home, the world is a dangerous place. “ Then I realize my fate. Animal testing.
For some reason I find this ending hilarious.
