THE LIFE.. - by Wonda’

Clang….. clang… clang…The baton strikes heavily on the steel bars of the metal cages we call home. The sound of crazed applause rang through through the halls….“Can y’all be a little quieter?? He thought desperate for even a single second more to sleep..“Hey” a voice whispered…“I’ll just ignore it” he thought“Heyyy” the voice called a little louder this time.A frown etched on his face, he opens his eyes slowly, blinking at the light seeping in through the only window in the room..“Rise and shineee” The voice continued Focusing his gaze, he glared at the source of his sleep deprivation already knowing who it was.Very little people were chirpy this early in the morning. Heck, very little people were chirpy at all.Closing his eyes he turns away“Maybe, I’ll just get a few more minutes of quiet bliss before-“Ouch.His head bruised from the sudden attack to his skull…“Get up” The voice commands “Argh” he groans “let me sleep”“No.”“Leave me alone ““I won’t ““But I was just about the vanquish the beast”“What beast?? The voice sounds incredulous “Yes 7.7.3. The beast”“The evil, evil beast that is the source of all nightmares”“What are you going on about?” Now the voice sounds exasperated “Shhhhhhh” It’s silent for a while and just as his about to sink into the sweet embrace of sleep…. Or as sweet as it could be while lying on cold, hard floor of the cage… but still at least I can -Another hit landed on his temple. Even harder than before..Groaning in pain, he leans against the wall massaging his bruised temple…“Are you serious?? He yells at her“Yep. Looks like you’re awake now” she beams “ get ready. We leave in five “ she walks away leaving me behind to grapple at the remains of the sweet promise of sleep..Taking a moment, I scan the cage. There are fewer people here than usual.“This is good. No, this is very good” he thought At exactly five minutes, all 200 occupants in the cage stood in front of the metal bars. The cheers from the floor above seemed to grow even louder..A few seconds later, the heavy thud of leather boots were heard from the entrance along with the scraping sound of a metal pole..“Woow. You’re all awake today. What a suprise” the bastard drawled. “Even you 9.9.7. You must be doing a really good job 7.7.3” he continues in a dead pan tone…“Don’t react” 7.7.3 growls beside meI almost rolls my eyes.. almost. Honestly she gives me way to much credit. Even I can feel deflated. Feel?? Feel?? What’s that again??“Oh well. Today, you’ll be entertaining some pretty important people soo I expect y’all to be on your best behavior.. understood?? The participants today are 8.7.1, 9.0.2”He rambled on. Calling number off his stupid list as I zone everything out..Yes. This is what peace feel like. Nothing. No one. Just silence.. I want to stay like this forever.But alas the world had other plans ….“9.9.7, you’ll be participating today “ he says I guess peace really isn’t an option…
