I was born in China, around the year 1997. I belonged to a big family, I remembered we had a gathering once in a sort of cage like metal cube... There inside the metal cube, we waited for the latecomers to come but they never appeared, it seems that they couldn't make it. My best friend was one of those who couldn't make it, I remembered the first time I saw her, she was unlike the others, she was unique. The last time I saw her was at the travelator, she was brought away while me and the others continued on the travelator for quite awhile until we reached the metal cube.
It was boring inside the cube, I had nothing to do... soon after I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found myself with tattoos all around my body. From my side, I can only see the letters C-O-N-V-E, I wonder what those letters meant, up till now they are still a mystery. I looked around and I can see many others like me with tattoos on their body, some of them were shocked, while others kinda liked their new tattoos.
What happened after that was kinda vague but i remembered some of us were brought to a huge box, I know its huge because it was more spacious here than in the metal cube.
I was poked by a long needle here, it felt weird, after the needle was removed, I felt somewhat stronger and buffer, the tattoos on my body looked wider too. I was placed high up above the ground on some sort of ring, the view there was good, I could see strange creatures walking around, all of them looked different, some were tall, some were short, some were wide and some were thin.
Time passed quickly while i was there, I was getting used to the life there when one day i was brought down and put into a bag, I was being swung around violently, I couldn't see a thing, I could hear weird noises outside the bag, I didn't know where I was going. I was afraid.
After what seemed like ages, the bag stopped moving and I was taken out by a small creature. Being afraid, I scanned my surrounding and everything looked so strange and big. Suddenly, I was flying and while I was flying, all i could see was a ring looking similar to the ring i was on back at the huge box, this time it was bigger. Everything was moving so fast, I flew closer and closer towards the ring, the closer I was, the more I wanted to touch the ring. As i was moving close I saw a wall behind the ring, I panicked because at the speed I was going, I will hit it and probably die, I tried to slow down but there was nothing I could do, I closed my eyes while the inevitable happened, I hit the wall... surprisingly it did not hurt one bit.
I opened my eyes and I was on the ground, "phew lucky me",I thought. Little did I know I was picked up by the small creature again and was up flying again before I knew it, I hit the wall again, but after going for the "ride" a few times, I got to the ring and fell right through it, although this may sound weird, I enjoyed the whole ordeal. After like what seemed like a long day, I was brought into a big structure and put into a dark room.
I was brought out almost everyday, thrown against the wall, going through the ring seemed like heaven. After a few years, the little creature grew and looked bigger than I first met it, I was flying faster, going through the ring more and there were more creatures throwing me around and into the ring, but I was growing old, I no longer have the rough skin I had, my skin was smoother, my tattoos were fading away too.
Another few years went by and I was in the dark room for longer hours, occasionally being taken out for the "ride". Soon, I was never taken out anymore, there in the room, I was awaiting for the little creature to take me out for the "ride", as I waited day after day, I felt weaker and weaker, my robust body has now been shriveled up and I have given up all hope in life. And here I am, awaiting death in this dark dark room...
How I wish, I could go on the "ride" for one... last... time...
