Silly Billy

It pains me greatly to see him moving around, leaning on one hand, the other hurting to much to put pressure on.

He climbs up his little blue cube gingerly using his legs to push his way up instead of leaping up the way he used to.

Even when he stands up, he doesn't swim in the air as much, and when he looks out of the cage, he uses his good hand for support.

He can't walk normally with one finger gone ):

He doesn't dare to walk down my arm, as he can't balance well enough now.

He doesn't recognise his name anymore.

I call him, no response. I lift up the cage lid, no response. Only when I lean above him and he feels my shadow, he looks up.

Has he gone deaf, I wonder.

I cry to see him but a shadow of what he used to be.
