If that ain't the single crappiest night's sleep he's had since he got to this place. Yeah, ain't nothing like waking up in a damn cage covered with dirt and grime and sweat and dust. The inside of his mouth tastes like he ain't been near a toothbrush in a hundred years. Fish biscuits and kibble are nasty stuff. But he rolls over, stretches, runs a hand over the side of his face -- no call to shave -- then stands, blinking up at the morning light. There's sounds in the distance. A little bit like people movin' around, things like that.
Well. He knows where to get breakfast anyhow, now he's figured out the little system here. Just 'cause the bears did it faster ain't gonna bother him. It was an accomplishment, and it was his, and no damn Others get to take it away from him. He can order up his little fish biscuit faster now and he does. Pushes the levers just so, and throws the shoe, and...
Voila. The music starts, the biscuit and kibbles fall, and the water rushes out. In the cage across the way, he can see Freckles start to stir. Fair's fair: he breaks that fish biscuit in half.
