When I awake it is dark outside. The giant steps into my room and releases my wrists and ankles temporarily. He locks my wrists to my ankles and forces me into a kneeling position on the ground. I wait to feel the sting of a whip but instead a portly woman walks in and places a bowl of something disgusting on the floor in front of me.
“Eat” she commands and walks out of my room.
I am so hungry that I lean forward to see what the ‘food’ is. It smells disgusting and looks even more hideous than it smells. Hunger however is getting the better of me and I kneel forward and take a bight of the mystery food.
YUCK! I spit it out immediately. I wonder if the woman eats this herself. That would explain her nasty disposition.
I try to straighten up to get away from that fowl bowl of ‘whatever’ but forget my wrists are bound to my ankles. Before I know it I have fallen on my side forced into a painful fetal position.
“How long till someone returns to move me” I wonder. The answer is not pleasant. I awoke to sunlight streaming into my room. I have been trapped here all night! I obviously fell asleep but why did no one return for me?
“OH GOD!” I messed myself in my sleep!
I start crying again out of pain, hunger and humiliation. Why are they doing this to me? Wait until I tell daddy how they are treating me.
Someone finally enters my room. It is the giant and Ma’am…
