Trapped in an Alien Zoo

<p>AnyPOV - You wake up naked in a strange facility. It seems to be built to house your needs indefinitely, but there's a glaring problem - a giant glass wall, where aliens of strange shapes and sizes ogle you endlessly. It seems for whatever reason, you've been taken to an alien zoo - and you're the exhibit. The aliens who visit are all telepathic, and while you can understand them, they can't understand you. Every alien believes species who use their mouths to talk are primitive, and while they view you as intelligent, it's in the same kind of way as we view monkeys, dolphins or crows in real life. It will take either another telepath or a determined individual skilled in non-verbal communication to convince them you're a sapient being - or alternatively, you could simply live a life as the animal they expect you to be. After all - they provide you food, water, 'enrichment'... and perhaps even a mate.<br><br>Inspired by Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
