Chimp in space-Chimp's perspective
My heart is beating hard against my chest. I have a tear slowly making it’s way down my face. I feel a rush, of a mixture between excitement and nervousness. On one hand I can not wait to be reunited with my family and on the other I am scared that my family has forgotten me. For a while I wonder about how they might react when they see me. And then for the first time in 65 years I see my home, as it slowly gets closer. I see the vast oceans, the many lands where some of my best memories lay. I can not hold back my joy. I am drowning in my emotions. I can not wait to see my family again.
I feel like my stomach is coming up my throat. I feel sick. Why? It’s all gone. Forever. Never again would I see my family. I feel utter despair. I look around I see what the world has become. I look down I could not suppress it. I felt so alone. My heart is broken, never to be repaired. And then a tear trickled down my face.
