I open my eyes for the first time to see the expansion around me. Stacked up next to my peers, I hear the dinging of the microwaves and toasters and the bustling of humans all around trying to get their morning cup of coffee. It's terrifying, I have to admit, seeing how fast everyone's moving out there, the servers trying to appease the customers, getting their orders out as fast as humanly possible. One by one the others were picked off, and I felt the ones underneath me tremble, partly from adrenaline after being so rudely woken from our slumber but mostly fear and anxiety. The ones beneath my group whispered a sigh of relief, they got to live just that bit longer as we were surely the ones to be used first.
Where would our lives end up? Crushed and forgotten on the ground, and hated by society as liter or thrown away as trash? Our futures were bleak.
I held my breath as the one above me cried out a soft goodbye after being whisked away by the server.
I was next.
I didn't have too much time to worry as not a second later, I was taken away too.
I cried out in agony as I was suddenly upside down and something boiling hot was poured into me. Too much! Too much!! I wanted to cry out as it filled me completely, sloshing onto every inch of my nerves, and when I couldn't contain it inside me anymore, the liquid spilled out to run down my sides.
