Sitting up, I shook my head to wake myself up. I had been on this wall for weeks, a simple PetSmart in the suburbs, waiting for someone to come in and take me home. It hadn't even been that large of a fine, just a missed court case for a traffic stop that put me in this situation. One minute I was sitting at home, minding my own business, the next a special task force was knocking on my door, and within an hour Iw as in the next delivery to the local pet shop.
Of course the degradation wasn't ever enough, every day reminding me of the merchandise I had become. Today was no different, the man in the bright blue store uniform depositing the pellets designed for miniature people such as myself making his rounds, leaving a few from the container in the trough I had been assigned.
