The boy sobbed quietly in his sleep, using a tiny pillow as a mattress in his small birdcage in the corner of the room. That boy was named Nishi Kansao. Anyone who would have seen the boy locked in the tiny cage would have immediately called the police, but the Kansao's had no friends, and lived on a fairly abandoned side of the town.
Nishi was locked in the cage because his parents thought that Nishi had broken a window and thrown food from the small pantry all over the house - in reality it was a rather large and tricky group of raccoons that had horrified Nishi beyond belief. Nishi tried to tell his parents what had happened, but they didn't want to believe him. The boy just couldn't understand, if it was him who had made the mess he would have ATE the foot, not spilled it all over the place like the horrifying raccoon gang had. He was fairly small for his age, so he wasn't too worried about the cage hurting him at all.
Most of the time Nishi would be locked in the cage, his parents would be nowhere in sight. The boy would always wonder to himself... What if I had to go to the bathroom? What if I cut myself? What if I got sick? What if the raccoons came back? he would always think, terrifying himself beyond belief so much that he would have nightmares every night. Nishi was only a five year old at the time, so he thought nothing more than his parents were just at work.. In reality, his parents never worked, but made their living hustling any drug they could get their hands on, using most of their profits on their drugs of choice. When Nishi's parents would come back, they would usually be high beyond belief, and pass out before even giving Nishi two looks.
Nishi had been locked in this cage for nearly six months - he was allowed out to use the bathroom, and nothing more. His parents were foolish enough to leave a set of the keys (they had plenty of them, the lock was fairly common) in the bathroom when they were too stoned to know what they were doing. Nishi was abused physically and mentally (thankfully, not sexually) his whole young life - but he was incredibly smart. The day he found the extra set of keys in the bathroom, it was as if he had finally found out what Christmas was, although it was only August.
From that day on, he would use the key to leave his cage once his parents left - he would be free to drink water from the faucet and watch tv for hours. On days his hunger would make him feel daring enough, he would even steal a slice of bread or two and scarf it down within seconds. Weeks passed of Nishi's life in the cage, then months.
"My birthday... It's coming soon!" Nishi proclaimed with a weak smile to his mother, poking his nose through the small black cage.
"Sixth birthday? Who gives a rat's ass! Nothing happens on your sixth birthday, so don't think you're special!" his mother yelled at him, disappearing down the hallway and out of sight. Nishi's eyes welled up with tears until his father walked up to him and whispered.
"No worries Nishi. You'll have your own room on your sixth birthdayl your mother just doesn't want to talk about it! So don't say I told you or even act like I did, or I'll kick your ass harder than last time, okay ya little shit!?" Nishi's father said, beginning with a whisper and a faint smile before switching his tone mid sentence and roaring in his face.
Nishi turned away with a smile, burying himself in his large pillow. "My own room!? Finally... Finally! I knew they would eventually! This cage punishment... It couldn't have lasted much longer! Just a few more days!"
