It’s so very toasty warm right now. Yesterday, was shower day and boy did I need the water. You know how they say you can feel yourself growing, well it’s true. I’m sure that I am bigger than I was before the bath. I could stay here forever.
As time passes, this cycle repeats itself until the dreaded day comes. I can hear the big machines moving towards me, I can hear the screams of my neighbors and I know my time is coming.
The machine is here, it yanks me up by the hair and throws me in a bin with all the others. We know we are going to get a hot bath and our green hair cut. The hot water will make my orange skin glow.
If I’m lucky I will go straight into a bag, but if not — it will be the gullitine.
I’m not ready to go
