Maybe I smoke too much weed but..

Mama gorilla hates her life. She lives in a prison. She was probably born there, always hearing stories from her parents of their lives before they were 'rescued'. In her parents eyes, they were taken by these 'guardian ancestors' from the wild to preserve them and allow them to live a life where the stress of being prey 24/7 was no longer a harsh reality. But deep down, she knows better. She sees things for what they really are. She is but a mere freak for these so called 'ancestors' to gawk at, keeping her alive just for the sick pleasure of being able to. She knows she is helpless in this sad, small, broken world. She knows that no matter how hard she tries, she and her parents were doomed to a life of misery, without freedom, only uncrossable borders. After many years, this realisation's effects weakened, and she began to accept that this was the only way.

She would make the best of it.

Many years pass, her parents have died, and she sleeps alone in her cage. When she awakens the next morning, she discovers another gorilla is there. A male gorilla. After a bit of hesitation, the two finally communicate and fall deep in love.

This was it. Her happiness. Her freedom. To be loved. To love.

They marry and have a child.

Together they grow. Each and every day she grows happier, living in a cave with her mate and her child. Every now and then, the child would leave the cave to go 'out', but only when she and the father were not looking. See, she has very strict rules about going 'out'. 'Out' is where they will see the child. 'Out' is where they will look, point, laugh and gawk at the child. 'Out' is the reminder of her parents. The sadness of their entrapment. Their hardships. Their suffering. Her childhood was a never-ending wonder of what-if. A question that would never be answered because of the gawkers. Her child will not be destoyed as she was. Her child will not be exposed to the truth, for it is too destructive.

Never forget.
