writing Departure (Experimental short story)

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

 She and I spent our time in captivity, together, but then they came, the men in the suits.

 

 And I wept slightly, as I watched her depart. The cold air greeting me swiftly as I fell still due to my utter disbelief. The pain, the unending agony had been resurfaced as if the death of our parents was yesterday. She was dragged away by the men in suits, the horrible men in suits.

 

 They captured her, and they departed from our home. I watched as their van sped away, kicking up dust. I just watched from the window near my cell, I knew that there was nothing I could do for her. My soul mate, gone, swept away from me forever, but all I could do was ask myself...why?

 

 The memories we shared together, from the day we were born into our rather large family. My father died shortly after I was born. Savages ate his corpse, and I had to watch from the confines of my cell, the place I was trapped. I was trapped in a rather small cell, actually, located in what appeared to be a much larger complex. Many of those like me were nearby in other cells. In fact, upon birth, my entire family was split up into different cells, all located in the same room.

 

 Sometimes people would come and stare at us, point at us for being different, and they would laugh at us as we lived our lives. I despised it, their eyes pried deep into my very soul. I'm pretty big compared to the people who look at me. I'm a giant, they say. But back on topic, if I could, I'd save her.

 

 I'd rescue the damsal in distress, I'd save her from the horrible creatures that have taken her, I would end my very life for her, but I cannot escape this prison. My tentacles do not allow me to leave, I wish I wasn't a squid.

Woah... that makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I think I may end up having some kind of dream about this, and I doubt I'm gonna like it.

I can imagine how dreaming about being a squid having your mate sent off to be made into Calamari might be a very unpleasant dream.

Calamari? I was thinking more of a pet shop, except littlest pet shop is a bit too happy for the one I was imagining. Not the point though, it sucks being an animal. I've heard from a couple people that affection to others doesn't affect them like that though. If it does... I hate this world. And this race.

Well they are at an aquariam where they are raised until they are sold to sea-food restaurants, which is why he mentioned his father getting eaten.
