The screen on the desk came on. I like looking at screens. Pretty shapes and changes in the light on them. Sometimes pretty sounds as well. My name must have been mentioned but I didn't hear it. I was too busy watching the screen. And then the Boss turned it around so the others at the table could see it. I am taken by the man I count as a friend. He took me downstairs and I sat on the table in the room. I had been here before but not for a long time. I think I'll look around and see if anything is new. My friend that brought me here goes towards the door. It's okay if he leaves me here. Someone always comes to find me when I am lost or don't want to be found. And they always find me. He looks up into a box near the corner of the wall and roof. He says something. As I look around I hear a slight hiss. Well, maybe more than a slight hiss, because the man hears it as well. My ears are better than his are but if he hears it, then it's loud. I see him rush to the door and scream but no-one is there to hear it except me. He looks up into the air above his head. Then he lies down. But why would he sleep now? Middle of the day. I go over and see if I can wake him. I can't. Hey, I've never seen a man lie on the ground before. Oh, I mean I have but this one has his eyes still open. Usually when they lie down they close their eyes. And wow, I've never noticed that before. His eyes. Usually they were pale, but today they are black. Oh well. I look around the room again. Nothing new since last time. No new scents. No other animals have been here. I'm getting a bit sleepy now as well. I think I'll curl up next to the guy. Either he will wake up to open the door, or someone else will come to look for him. Or look for me. Doesn't bother me which. Wow, it's a strange look. Seeing into this man's open, black eyes. But hey, me and him have played the staring game before. I always won. Hope I win again.



One point of view from opening scene of "Love"
