Transitions

Today was the most traumatic experience of my life. Before this, all was blissfully quiet, peaceful, if a bit cramped. Then the pressure started, every few minutes, squeezing my head into a tight place. Then there was this incredibly bright light, brighter than anything I had ever seen. These two gigantic hands reached down and grabbed me, and yanked me from my paradise. At least they removed the cord that was wrapped twice around my neck.

Life is nothing like it was. Suddenly I have to start working for my food, and an incredibly complicated business it is. And I get so uncomfortable sometimes, but nobody seems to understand when I tell them. And there's always people doing things to me that I don't like. I liked it better before, even though it was cramped.

Still, there's so much to look at. I can hardly take it all in.
