I am alone.

My world has six sides: one floor, one ceiling, and four walls. They are padded, warm, and white. They are the only world I have ever known, and perhaps they are the only world I ever shall know.

But... sometimes I wonder if there is another world outside. Another world where footsteps make noise as they pass by my world. Another world where sometimes many people pass by but only one returns....

Will they come and take me from my world? Will they take me away, never to return to the only world I have ever known?

My soft, square, white world. My ONLY world.
