{11} The Meat
I was left alone the rest of the day. Neither Jasper or my mom came in again, but I know they were watching. I was sitting there waiting for them to come in or for something to happen when my stomach grumbles. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday at breakfast.
I look around the room as the hunger in my stomach grows. That's when I spot the meat and rice left over from last night since I didn't eat any of it. I kick it over with my foot and I look down at the meat inspecting it. It looks anything, but appetizing.
I slowly cut the meat into pieces to eat and as I do I watch as the mysterious meat spills out brown liquid. I don't think that's supposed to happen. As I look closer I realize it's not even cooked. Great just great.
Slowly I stab the fork into a piece of the meat and I put it into my mouth. It tastes really salty and gross that I want to bark, but I make myself swallow it. Piece after piece I swallow the meat mixing it with the rice which tastes no better.
Finally the plate is clear and I lean back. The feeling of my sensitive back against the cold stone wall feels nice and just like that my eyes drop closed and I fall into an uneasy slumber.

So this chapter was unexciting, but I promise the next chapter will be better! Please let me know if you have any feedback or if there's any mistakes so I can fix them. Thanks! -Jordan
