The last time I woke up was the day I was born, I had a lot of brothers and sisters. We were separated, we all lost contact. I’m so tired, fucking tired of not sleeping.

I was only a fraction of the size I am now, I was fresh faced, there was a look of exploration in my eye. Now, two years later I’m left here, my eyes have sunk, these stupid bastards my only company and I eat my own kind.

The last time I woke up I was free, now I’m stuck in this fucking tank for life.
