    Breathing heavily and rapidly from panic, I try to put on a normal smile in a desperate attempt for the guard to assume everything was fine and leave.Which he did, after a 10-30 minute lecture that probably had something do with how I wasn''t allowed to hum.

    Not that I could tell though.I mean, even if my hearing was functioning, I probably wouldn''t listen.So I just sat there, like I was listening in total devotion until he finally left.

    When I was alone, I just sat on the floor waiting for the situation to sink in.

    Once it did, I once again descended into boredom.Seriously though, if there was anyone out there that studied boredom, I would definitely be the perfect candidate for experimentation.Literally, all I do the whole day is sit here in this desolate room.

    You''d think being kidnapped and caged with no memories would be more entertaining.But no, to add on to it all, I also can''t hear and can only see out one eye.

    If you think that''s not bad enough, I also have to deal with mysterious dreams and whip lashes.

    ...But really, I wonder if I''ll ever be able to hear again.

    Letting out yet another sigh, I sit up and attempt to clean my wound once again.It takes a while, but eventually I make some progress.After I''m finished I lay back down and let my thoughts wander.

    I wonder where that unknown creature went.I''m aware that I''ve never actually seen that creature, nor do I have any way to prove it exists.But I can kinda just tell that it''s there.And even if I''m only deluding myself into thinking that, at least that thought will keep me entertained for a little bit.I mean, what else am I gonna do?

    But my hopeless thoughts were interrupted when my arm was grabbed rudely and a unpleasant face entered my line of sight.

    And once again, I was reminded of the advantages that come along with hearing.@@
