How long has it been? Maybe a few days, months, or even years? I have a feeling that I am getting closer to finally being born and escaping this cramped place.
After all this time I've spent in this place, I have been getting used to the feeling of my new growing body. Now, it's clear to me that I won't be born as a human, though, since I can feel a fifth limb growing behind what I assume to be a tail of sorts. It's really fascinating; it gives me the same feeling as my arms do.
Anyways, something to be happy about is that I am slowly able to move my limbs. Some time ago, I was able to slowly move them a bit. Now, after some time of growing and getting used to it, I can move them more freely.
I think after some more time of growing, I'll be able to break what I assume to be a shell around me. I have been getting the constant urge to hit my limbs against it ever since I started feeling my limbs.
I assume that's what I have to do to be born. Hopefully, this thing won't be too hard.
Some more time has passed. Now, I can actually hit the wall around me. I have been going at it for a few hours every day. It's really damn hard; this thing is way too hard. But I can't give up; I still have to try my best to break out of this place. The feeling inside of me has been helping me continue; I will be able to break out soon.
Crack, crunch, crack.
Breaking!!
Panting.
Huff, huff, huff.
"Finally, FINALLY!"
I am out. As I looked around, all I could see was blinding light for a few seconds until my eyes finally got used to the light. The first thing that came into focus was a lush green leaf slowly settling on the crown of an old tree, rays of sunlight seeping through the crown of the tree.
THE SUN!!
This thought takes all the space in my head. Finally, after so much time of deep darkness, I could see the sun once more. A feeling of unimaginable gratitude welled inside of me. After a few seconds of calming down, I tried to feel my body, which sat limply on the ground. Breaking through that shell had taken all the strength out of my body."
