I don't recall ever feeling that way but now my chest expands and contracts continuously all by itself and I can't stop it; nor would I want to because it was very uncomfortable the last time my chest wouldn't expand properly.

It's unbelievably cold and bright out here and I don't like it at all; I really want to go back home where I was always warm and usually pretty comfortable. Those rude things are grabbing at me and holding me again. They're wrapping me in something that is warm and pretty comfortable considering that it's not wet at all. Finally, I have something covering my eye too; it is shielding my eyes from the incredible brightness outside there. What are they doing with all that light anyway? Cutting diamonds?

Now I'm pretty comfortable except for the residual light and all the noise. The one good thing is that I can hear one or two voices that I recognize and they are both much clearer than they ever were before. I have no idea what they are saying but I notice that the one that I've always heard the most comes from someone who is strangely familiar to me. It sounds familiar and even smells familiar. I noticed that it stares at me very much and that there seems to be some kind of "connection" between us when we are eye-to-eye, I mean, if you believe in that sort of thing. Speaking of connections, if I ever see that thing again that cut that cord off me I may not be able to control my anger because that really hurt. Anyway, the best part of life right now is that the thing that's been holding me the most also has these dispensers where I can drink as much as I want of that warm stuff.

I hope we can get out of this place soon because I have a lot of work to do in the next few months. I have to learn how to move my fingers, toes, and my limbs in a controlled way instead of randomly or reflexively. I will have to learn how to make things happen outside of my body and I understand that I may have to start eating food other than the warm stuff from the warm stuff dispensers. I understand that there are plenty of fingers out there that need to be squeezed by my little hands and that I will be quite popular with everybody. I'm also going to start paying more attention to all of the sounds that everybody seems to make from their faces because I know it means something and a lot of times it also seems to have something to do with me in particular......
