[ WP ] A normal family goes about their normal lives in a very normal way . You are the family 's goldfish/pet . `` What is normal ? ''

They put me in the glass and I do not understand. Longer ago than I can remember, I was taken from a group of my brothers, sisters, and friends to live with them. They tower up to heights that I can not see. 
 
 There is no place to hide. I try, but when I do they strike the glass walls and the reverberations make my head pound. So I sit in full view and try to understand them. 
 
 All I ever see are their strange appendages, much larger than my body. They throw a strange powdered food down to me and when I catch it they make odd noises, noises of a barbaric complexity and loud, loud like they always are. 
 
 I thought several times of escaping, but there would be nowhere to go. Also, they keep a beast that watches me - not as big as them, but infinitely more deadly and incomprehensible. It watches me with green and amber eyes and I can tell it wants to kill me, but my captors do not allow it. They keep it fed, and I shudder to think what will happen if I displease them. Will they unleash the beast on me? Or is my fate much darker? 
 
 I see them when they feed, great massive animals burnt beyond recognition, but it is on Fridays that I fear them most. Friday is when they kill, cook, and eat something that looks very much like me, and I wonder when my turn will come.
