During a test where the only sound was number two pencils on paper, I heard his wheel and the soft squeaks he would make sometimes.
I looked around for its source, trying not to seem like I was cheating and looking at other people's papers.
When I glanced up at Mr. Griffin, my teacher, to see if he noticed my wandering gaze, I froze.
Mr. Griffin's eyes were completely black, except for the specks of light, just like Soot's eyes.
Then Mr. Griffin said, "'Release me,' and his mouth opened until Soot fell out and onto his desk."
then another black hamster and another.
The trickle turned into a torrent like a fire hydrant and bursts of black fur poured forth.
Their squeaks and beckoning calls filled the room as they covered the floor.
They said, release me, release me, release me, over and over in a cacophony of noise.
I pulled my feet up on the chair and when I looked at my classmates, they had the same blacked out eyes and hamsters poured from their mouths.
The squeaks and voices became so loud I thought the windows were going to shatter.
I screamed, leave me alone and sat up in my chair.
The girl next to me, whose eyes were no longer blacked out, fell out of her chair startled by my outburst.
Mr. Griffin's hand was on his chest and every student was staring at me.
The hamster ball rolled past the room unnoticed.
That earned me some time in the principal's office before getting picked up by my mother.
I could still hear the squeaks, the voices and the sounds of thousands of their feet scurrying about the floor.
My mother asked if I was okay, with concern etched into her face.
When I didn't answer, she said I had been off for a while and knew things were hard right now but she believed we were making do.
I told her I hadn't been getting a lot of sleep and she nodded, agreeing.
