Being a Tennis Ball

Here I am, what seems to be the millionth day I have been cooped up in this air tight container with my two roomate’s Josh and Bryan. It seems by now that none of us really have anything to say to each other, mainly due to the fact we haven’t come in contact with the outside world in, well forever.
