Tick Tock

My day usually begins with a bang as I'm thrown across the room into the wall accompanied with a "SHUT UP!" Always a wonderful start to the day. Even though he sets me to make my ringing noises at that exact time, he insists on beating me when I do.

Then once he calms down, he stretches my spine across his arm and straps me in. An extremely painful process. Imagine having your spine bent backwards until it breaks. That's every morning for me.

Once that's out of the way, were off to school. There, he stares at me all day with this blank, bored face. Do you know how it feels to have a blank face stare at you all day? It's terrifying, that's what it is. It's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or something and he's just waiting until I turn my back so he can attack me.

Sometimes his friends ask him to look at me. I always thought that was weird. I mean, how would you like it if people kept asking someone to stare at you aimlessly? Is it some kind of joke? I don't understand. And then every time he stops staring at me he always says some random numbers like "2 05" or "1 15". I keep trying to figure out some kind of pattern, but it never makes sense to me.

Anyway, once the day is up, he sets me back on his night table after he sets me, once again, to make ringing sounds in the morning. And then its off to sleep until tomorrow when he throws me against the wall again. Maybe I'll get lucky. Maybe my battery will run out.
