>Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre
>little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the
>other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I
>make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat
>something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me
>going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again
>vomit on the carpet.

>Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I
>had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly
>demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending
>comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards! There was some
>sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary
>confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the
>noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the
>power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to
>my advantage.

>Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
>tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this
>again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the
>other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special
>privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing
>to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant.
>I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he
>reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him
>in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...
