Even though I couldn't escape if I wanted to, they keep me locked in a cage.
They decide when I eat and force me to eat the same meal day in and day out.
When they finally decide I can eat, they beat me.
If I scream in protest, they gag me.
Every night they bind my hands and feet before allowing me to sleep.
They have been doing this to me my entire life.
Why do they torture me so?

$\begingroup$ @marius - Now that I see the answer to the question, your comment reminds me of a colleague who recently had a dream that her soon-to-be answer was sending her messages on Facebook, complaining about the current living conditions. $\endgroup$– YowE3KJan 14, 2017 at 21:29
