*The sound of footsteps crossing a tile floor*
*The intercom beeps on with a page for Dr. Smith*
*Our hero's voice begins to narrate*

"It had been a long and hard day. Of course, I knew it would be that way when I signed on for this plan, but I doubt anyone could have predicted this."
"It all began when I was nothing but a microscopic tadpole trying to find a home. Someplace comfortable. And I had found it, and once I did I knew what a good deal I had got... warmth, ambiotic fluid, and meals without any effort; but, eventually, I knew it would all come with a price. And that price came today."
"The real trouble began when I heard the high heeled footsteps of that doll as she walked into the room to help with my delivery. But, it wasn't the time for dames, I had a mission to complete and it was my time to leave this home and enter the world where I would have to work for food and crap all over myself. A hard world indeed, but I had a job that needed to be done. And after three hours of be pushed through a small tube and feeling like my head was being crushed into a cone I was here and my real work was about to begin. All that was left was a burning question... "Was the world ready for me? Was I?"
