[ WP ] Trapped . Trapped forever , with no hope of escape .

I am in the box. The box is closed. Frankly, the word closed does not even come close to describing the state of my prison. It is hermetically sealed -- that is, you could call it that if Hermes had powers more alike in magnitude to those of Zeus himself. Even with my keen senses, I can not hope to ever experience the faintest ghost of the world outside. 
 
 More importantly, *They* will never know what happens *inside*. That is Their construction, the entire foundation of this horrible contraption: They can not hear my breath, can not feel my heartbeat or see the terror in radiating from eyes. I know that the tiny glass tube above to me contains a lethal toxin and with the prospect of eternal imprisonment, there is nothing I would not do to be able to reach it, to crush it and this nighmare along with it. As is, I have no way of knowing when or *if* it will break. Everything could diseappear at any moment but just the thought of it never happening raises the hair on my back. 
 
 But even if the the toxin escapes and flows into my lungs up, quickly burning them from the inside; even then, will I die? That is to say, can anyone truly die if no one is there to see it? Is it not Their design that I will never really be dead but at the same time never fully alive? Can you call being trapped all alone in an all but empty box a life anyhow? 
 
 I wonder why someone would do such a cruel thing to a poor cat.
