The Life of a Meat Patty

In our class we were writing stories set in the past. We had to write about a random item (e.g a Meat Patty) from its perspective. I wrote about the sad terrifying life, of a Meat Patty.

The Life of a Meat Patty

One day at the farm, a truck stopped by. Farmer Jeb came up to me and my fellow cow friends and said “Off to the slaughter house with ya!” then started guiding us to the truck. When we got off of the truck the people driving the truck lead us into a building with a sign on the door saying ‘Slaughter House! Where farm animals go to die!’ They took us into a room, then one of them came to me and struck me with an axe. Everything went black.

I woke up a while later on a Gigantic table, I tried to run away, but it seemed that my legs were gone! A Giant Man stood in front of the table and grabbed me, he started to press against me with the palm of his hand and squish me, into a puck like object, He threw me onto a tray and I looked around, I was in some sort of factory. It seemed that they were making me into some sort of food! I passed out, just at the thought that I’m going to be eaten!

I woke up, finding myself on a soft bread like surface, a giant hand came down all of a sudden and put some sort of yellow sheet on me. The sheet felt warm like the milk from my udders, and started to melt onto my body. Then another giant bread like object is put on top of me, they put me into some sort of miniature cardboard box and everything went black for a minute or two.

The box has opened and I see a man sitting in front of me, "I can't wait to dig in!" he said, 'Is this the end? Is this how I die?' I thought to myself. The man takes a bite out of me, I tried to ‘Moo’, but I didn’t have a mouth. He kept on biting and biting, until there was nothing left.
