It's a little bit hazy here on this side of my eyes. Time has been suspended and it hangs half-struck in it's state of lower gravity. I think the cookies are starting to take effect. It's just me and Pikachu the budgie here at the Labyrinth's abode. I've placed her cage by the window so she can get some direct sunlight. It would drive me mental if I couldn't have access to direct sunlight for days on end. It would drive me mental to be stuck in a cage for months on end. And the smaller you are the faster time goes so it's probably felt like well over a year's imprisonment for poor old Pikachu. But what can one do? It's pretty clear that she wouldn't last too long if let free. And yet perhaps she should be allowed the choice, seeing as it's her life. Is it better for someone to be protected from all danger or to be allowed to live as he or she would live? Some people don't mind bondage and subject themselves to it repeatedly but I know I'd rather the freedom to experience everything I wanted to experience, even if it meant my death. I think Pikachu's lonely for other birds. Like when you find yourself in a situation where no one else speaks your language so communication is halting and overly polite at best, don't you love it when you finally come upon someone who speaks the same language as you? I think that's how Pikachu feels but god knows when she'll meet another bird. I wish I could talk to animals like Dr Doolittle or Eliza Thornberry. If I could have three wishes that would definitely be one of them. I'm gonna go challenge the computer to a game of chess.
