Headlines "Zapped and Pounded" by light_faerie382 Drip, drip, drip….
I looked up at the ceiling. Water dripped from a newly formed crack onto the stone floor. Great. Another problem to make my life in here more miserable.
I looked around my cage. There was no way to tell if it was day or night, not in this dark, windowless space. The only furnishings the room held was a small cot and a sink in the corner. My food and water bowls were empty, not that they were very full to start with. Three stone walls surrounded me, my only connection to the outside world being through the rusty bars of the cage.
The pink Uni walked by my cage and stopped in front, giving me a sad smile.
“How’re you doing, One?”
I regarded her wearily. She was a kind soul with a gentle heart, but even so, there was only so much she could do, only so far her kindness could spread over those of us at the Pound. And there were so many of us.
“My ceiling is leaking.”
She peered up at the dank, dark ceiling. “Oh dear. I’ll see if I can find a bucket somewhere.”
“Thanks.” I settled back with a sneeze. “Still no luck with a cure?”
“Afraid not. I’m sorry One. The pharmacy only has so many Magic Cookies…”
I sighed. “It’s okay. I didn’t have high hopes.”
I never have high hopes for anything now.

Heavy Metal A Mote. A particle, or speck of dust. A tiny, inconsequential amount of something, usually pictured floating off to nowhere. A little bit of somethingness to punctuate the nothingness. This might be what always made me uneasy, when I thought of motes - that emphasis of space. At least, I think it was; before that day, when I started thinking something else.

Celebrating Kacheek Day as a Newly-Morphed Kacheek For Kacheeks all around Neopia, this means a day of mirth and merriment in celebration of our species’ long and storied history. For some of us, however, this day can be quite confusing as well. This is because some Kacheeks, such as myself, were not born as Kacheeks, but ended up becoming one for some reason or another.
