Tayloe Monologue

July 1st. I have been shipped off to this island, with people walking around in a dark room, staring at me, doing questionable things to me. I am kept in a confined cage with nothing but a wheel, food and water. I do not enjoy it here and one day I will get my revenge and obtain my freedom.

August 30th. Everyone has left and I am now alone with a man named Tayloe. I am still kept in this cage, still stuck in this dark building , with no way out. Everyday, some sun will glare out the window and I am able to see the grass outside.

I felt quite accomplished and had been living my dream; I actually made it outside.

September 10th. Today, the man had taken me back outside to retrieve that key that I had dropped down the well.

As I started to look down, the light shut off and I started chewing like I never had before on this rope he had relied on. He started climbing back up empty handed and finally realized that the rope was about to give. I tried to look innocent and squeaked as if I was “warning” him; I couldn't blow my cover.

Frankly, I was quite disappointed I had failed. Luckily, after he had eaten and fed me, we went back out after he replaced the rope and the light. This time my plan worked and now he is stuck down the well….
