Hello Friends.
It is day 152 in the Papoose Outside Womb (POW)
camp. The giants continue to try to wear me down in order to learn my
secrets. Lately they have started to put me into The Chair and we all
spend time at The Dinner Table. This is usually where I am forced to
watch them eat delicious food. The only distraction that I have is to
read a book made out of fabric. I believe that they don't want to
provide me a paper book in case I try to create smoke signals to beckon
for rescue.
They often permit me exercise time on The Play Mat with other
prisoners like the stuffed bunny, the vibrating purple elephant, or the
dragon we all refer to as "Walter". Sometimes I think that they try to
get me to talk by literally turning up the heat. It won't work though,
my will is too strong.
At least daily the giants will show me the other POW baby located at
this "house". We are only permitted to see each other through a portal
that the giants refer to as a mirror. I have to say that I am quite
struck by how gorgeous this other baby is - striking blue eyes,
peninsula-like hair line, and more chins than fingers I can fit into my
mouth. I often wonder "how did you get here", "what is your name", and
"how are you always dressed just like me". I contemplate escape, but it
would break my heart to leave the other baby behind.
The giants so far have not discovered my co-conspirators, henceforth
known by their code name of The Toes. We often discuss our plans, but
only in whispers, and only when they are within close range of my mouth.
So far they have not been able to hammer out an escape plan, but I have
faith that their efforts will eventually bear fruit, or perhaps jam.
I need to sign off now, the giants are starting to grow suspicious.
Your humble servant,
Alice
