Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - Who am I?

It's been awhile since we last talked, but i'm still alive. I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing though? Really I can't tell you much of anything at the moment, as I also don't know what's going on exactly.

I guess we should start where we left off at?

So as you can probably remember there was that 'thing'. I'm not really sure what it is still, but for now it doesn't seem to be any threat to me.

Well at least I don't think so.

I don't really have the peace of mind to walk up to it and poke it, even if I did what would I due next?

Say sorry for poking you?

That's just rude…

Honestly though I don't think this thing is my worst problem at the moment. When I first woke up my head was feeling dizzy and my body sluggish, I really just didn't want to move. So let's just play dead for the moment.

But now that i'm thinking a bit more, I can't just lay here now could I? I mean the ground is nice and all but I have no idea where I am, or how i'm even here? Did someone kidnap me and sell me off to some 3rd world country?

I'm starting to think that's possible.

Dragging my body up I start to notice more of my surroundings. As said before i'm currently in a cage. The ground is littered with dried straw, some places look damp and wet while others are thick with the stench of rotting bodies.The cage itself seems old and rusted.

Or is that dried blood?

I can't really tell, I've never seen this much blood before. Well I've never seen this kind of situation at all before to be honest.

Looking around more, there just isn't my cage, the whole room is packed with them, There's also a lot of other .....things in them. Some appear to have ears and tails others have gills or pointed ears and scaly skin.

Where the fuck am I?

This really can't be earth, no matter how I think about it. Earth certainly doesn't have this kind of beasts, and why would I even be somewhere with them? Am I some kind of food for that horned thing? He hasn't tried to eat me so I don't think that's it. The only thing I can come up with is that I died.

I died and now i'm on some other planet.

What else could it be?

Having that thought settle in, it was strange to me. Being on another planet I mean. I guess you could say seeing the other beings around me was sort of a wake up call. I mean just because their not human doesn't mean they'll hurt me right?

Dogs aren't humans but most would call them mans best friend so maybe these new things will be like that?

Don't get me wrong i'm not dumb or naive i'm just trying my best to think logical here.

Sure some of them might hurt me, but why would they? Is there any benefit in killing me? I'm a small looking human stuck in a cage.

Or am I even human…? I cant tell anymore.

What is the definition of human exactly? Having a human body? Having a human soul? Maybe the others here are like me, from a different world. I can't just judge them based on how they look, I mean that would be the noble thing to do. But at the same time I can't help but think they might just kill me as well for not belonging here.

I mean I don't belong here, I belong on earth living my peaceful dull life. I should have continued to live that life until I died.

Let's try to focus here, Am I human?

There's not that many humans here so I can only think something else happened to them. Checking out my own body i'm shocked. That's the only thing I can recall was just shocked numbness. I'm a human … I was a human, can I still be considered human?

I don't know.

Coming from my back side there's a long ragged-ed tail, stained with red and cream colors. It looks drenched in something wet…

Is that piss?

Or is it more blood.

Am I bleeding?

Even if I am what am I gonna do about it? Its to unsaintry here, I really can't bring myself to even look for anything to use for covering a wound, it would do more harm than good if I got an infection from some random wound I don't even remember getting.

Looking over my body once more I also notice a pair of...

… Ears?

Is that what they are?

Coming from the side of my head there's a pair of large ears. They felt wiry to the touch, and almost crusty feeling?

Well i'm only guessing their ears, I don't actually know what I look like. Do I even want to know what I look like though?

Seeing and thinking are different things, I think i'm just a bit numb to how and what I am now but if I actually got a clear picture of my situation I don't think id be able to stay this calm, in truth I might just kill myself right than and there. What's so good about living a life if its just one filled with pain and misery?

I think i'm going a bit insane trying to think about my situation here, clearly I've been abducted and now i'm most likely just waiting for my death.

Am I going to die here? I would think so.

Everyone here looks starved and only a breath away from death, including myself. I could see sharp outlines of bones sticking out from my skin, and my lungs felt sharp pain when ever I took a breath and my vision started to blur.

Or was it already blurry?

Why is the cages spinning now?

Thunk

I passed out
