A jungle of insanity thrown into one tiny room of combined destruction.
Animals from every part of the globe come in and capture their own piece of land.
Only six people per colony is legal,
and anyone who they decide doesn't quite fit must find a new breeding land.
Thunder constantly takes over the sky.
Rambunctious creatures growl at each other from every direction.
I place myself exactly in the middle of the wild sound of open mouths chewing food,
and meditate to the tune of deathly odors.

I wrote this while sitting in the middle of my school cafeteria and realized how disgusting it was. The whole scene just made me think of a wild jungle of untamed animals trying to eat.
