Chapter 6: Everybody else does it

Chapter 6: Everybody else does it

You see my kidneys must have started working, or maybe they have worked for a while and I didn't notice. Anyway working kidneys mean urine. Urine means pee and when you are trapped in a balloon it isn't going anywhere but back round in a circle. My very own water cycle.

Which is where my point that everybody else does it comes in. At least that's what I'm telling myself. I'm just being a little more direct about it.

You see back on earth the idea was that as dinosaurs had been around for so many million years they had to have drunk all the water in circulation on the earth therefore we were all drinking Dinosaur Pee! Anyway that idea makes it a little more palatable. As there is nothing else on tap in here. Although I don't know if dinosaurs exist or existed where I am now so maybe not.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

It’s been a month in here now. A whole 4 weeks! 28 days! Maybe only 16 more weeks to go but it sounds a lot longer when you say maybe another 112 days.

Maybe only one more to go who knows. But I doubt that as I still have a fair amount of room in here. Not sure exactly when I gained consciousness. Also, not sure how long gestation will be here on this world or with whatever species I am.

I have all my old skills which I have continued to level up and now I’ve got one more, memorisation.

I’m learning the songs!

I don’t understand them but hopefully I’ll be able to hum them when I’m born. It’s harder to remember a song without knowing what it means but I guess it’s good for gaining the memorisation skill. Memorising a completely random, from my perspective at least, set of syllables attached to an interesting set of pitches, tones and rhythms.

I remember learning a song in primary school in Klogbi. I’ve still no idea what it means. But I can remember it because I memorised the sounds, pitch and rhythm. Once you get the first three syllables the rest roll out of my memory. Same goes for Frere Jaque in French means something about brother John but not sure about the meaning of the rest of the lines even though I can still remember the song and words.

Quite proud of my progress so far but maybe I shouldn't be after all pride cometh before a fall. Maybe all babies are born with stats around 10 and my efforts so far are lackluster, I just don't know. So guess I will have to wait and see.
