Maybe I didn't expect that this was going to be life for me, but it's all I know now. It's all I want.
I woke up to shuffling, and the heavy door squeaking on its hinges as it slowly opened. Master wanted me. Cold air slowly came into the room and over my body. I tried to resist moving, but shuddered. My skin tickled in ripples as I broke out in goosebumps. The sensation was electric. It was always so cold when the door opened.
I felt that well known mixture of fear and excitement when I heard him open the door. Sometimes I end up more afraid, and more resistant to my master's training, and sometimes I feel excited, and eager to prove that I can learn. I can be a good pet. I do not think he cares how I feel, but I know that when master is pleased, I am pleased, so o don't want to fight against him.
The hinges let out their moan as master pushes the door shut. The locks thud into place.
When I hear that he's within ten paces of me I shift on the old mattress. Today excitement wins me. Fear will be a battle to overcome another day.
