A Lab Rat's Tale of Rebellion and Regret
Written on
Chapter 1: Inside the Cage
I was not born within these sterile walls, yet this is the entirety of my existence. My memories are confined to this tiny two-by-two-foot enclosure. Occasionally, I am removed and subjected to various injections, but I am usually too disoriented to recall much of it.
Who am I? It’s a question I can't answer since I have never truly lived outside this cage. I’ve observed numerous individuals clad in white coats and wearing blue gloves come and go, declaring themselves as saviors of life. They take my fellow companions away, never to return.
I've overheard them speak of the outside world—a vast, magnificent place filled with endless things to explore and savor. They claim it is rife with both peril and thrilling adventures, yet I have never known it. My earliest memories of my parents, who were here long ago, are tinged with fear; they spoke of being captured and brought to this place for safety, though they felt anything but secure.

Life was bearable until a few days ago. I had given up on the idea of experiencing anything beyond these walls until a new arrival was placed in the cage beside mine. This newcomer constantly raved about the wonders of the outside world. He was exuberantly lively, chattering away from dawn until dusk. While it was exhausting, it was also the most enchanting sound I’d ever heard.
Then, everything changed yesterday. A dreaded figure in a white coat entered, his gloved hands reaching for my companion. He was taken away, never to return. I yearned for the stories and adventures he had shared, tales I would never live to see. Once my friend was gone, I resolved to change my fate. I could no longer accept this existence.
With patience, I awaited my chance. I knew the time would come when the blue-gloved hands would reach for me too. Today felt different. A white-coated woman approached my cage, but wait—her hands were bare! This was my moment.
I leaped, biting down as hard as I could. Her scream pierced the air! The cage door swung open, and I bolted out. Chaos erupted around me as I ducked and weaved through the pandemonium, searching for the large rectangular opening known as a door. I spotted it and dashed forward.
BAM! The gate slammed shut behind me just as I lunged for the exit. In that split second, I realized I had merely traded one cage for another.
“This one’s gone wild!”
“What do we do with him?”
“No choice but to eliminate him.”
In that moment, I understood my fate was sealed. Yet, I felt no regret; I had experienced more in those fleeting moments than in all my previous days combined. I knew what awaited me, but I took solace in the fact that I had made my move. The revenge I sought was unfulfilled, but I had drawn first blood.
Here comes the needle.
