I have been trapped here for 2 days but it feels like forever. I miss hearing the infectious laughter of cheerful children. I miss the feel of the blinding sun warming my rough skin. I miss the exciting chaos rampaging around me. Will I ever get out of this hell hole?

It's so dark in here - it's as dark as the night. I hope they haven't forgotten about me, I hope I am not decaying away. This room feels so big it actually sends a chill down my spine, as things start to cramp up against me. I can only hear voices outside. Sometimes it's very noisy out there, sometimes it's so quiet and eerie. I feel like this place, which I hate, will be my home for as long as I live.

I just want to be out of here. Time is slowly slipping away, I feel like I am deflated. If only I could find a way to get out of here. Hmmm.... I wish that door can open so I can bounce out of here! I miss the sun, I miss the laughter and the cheer. From where I am trapped, I can see a tiny pin hole of light - my only glimpse of the outside world. I cannot wait until the day a key fills the hole of light and lets me out to the world I have always loved.

Then, all of a sudden, the cupboard door opens....ohh the light! The light is so bright, it feels like it is burning me. Freedom at last! As my sense of sight starts to recover from the wounding sun, I can see the gleaming smiles shining at me. "WE FOUND A BALL!" I feel so elated, this is the first voice I have heard since I was left isolated. A boy picks me up and I can feel the fresh, cool air breezing past me. "It looks a bit flat", he says, "lets pump some air into it." I am finally out, finally! I can feel the adrenaline rushing through me. This is all I wanted, being rushed through the air into the net. WOW! I have never felt happier then this moment. I can see all the athletic children running around like maniacs screaming, "GOALLL!" All that spinning made me feel dizzy.
