When I first escaped from the Centre, one of the wonderful things I discovered was PEZ. I assume you’ve seen it...those little pellets of candy you eat from a plastic dispenser with a top shaped like a clown, or an animal, or even a cartoon character. The candy’s really very good, and the dispensers are so interesting...through them, I’ve really learned quite a lot about the world around me.

Did you know there are actually people who collect them? Vast amounts of these little PEZ dispensers, going back to when they were first developed. There seems to have been a PEZ dispenser created for every major pop culture event in history. It’s really very remarkable.

I don’t collect the dispensers, though. Oh, I have many, but they’re not showpieces. I just think that PEZ tastes good. It’s fun, eating those little pellets of sugar that way...I’m particularly fond of the lemon. So I suppose eating PEZ is a habit for me...aside from being really good? I always remember my first days of freedom when I eat it...it reminds me of what I’m doing out here, and why I escaped.

I admit...the world sometimes scares and confuses me...frustrates me with the irrational way people act and hurt each other...but amidst all the pain, suffering, and ignorance? There’s things like the sky, trees..plus there’s ice cream. And PEZ.

And those are two things you *definitely* can’t find at the Centre.
