Responding Creatively for "Barney"
September 20th
I am so glad to be away from that wretched island, and that maniac of a scientist! I still have nightmares about it there, the torture, and the “experiments for health reasons”, oh it was terrible! I still remember it like it was yesterday; when we first got there I had a few friends, the guinea pigs, they were very nice and kind. Until the two scientists were fighting one day, speaking their gibberish language as usual and then their voices started getting very loud and they were throwing things, then the scrawnier one picked up Mama, the biggest of the family, and showed her off to the maniac scientist.
