I'm been taken away from my family and friends, only been used when they remember me and when they do, they just use me. When I'm not needed anymore they just get rid of me, anywhere. I lay there waiting for their return, until the wind blows me away. I hit the warm grains of sand where I feel a cold touch, it starts pulling me in and out, it feels like the contents I use to hold. 

I feel something hit me from underneath the water. I'm pulled down under the crystal clear liquid. It then lets go and I feel myself been filled by H2O. I sink lower into the ocean and start  slowly moving further out.

A few animals have tried to eat me, but I always mange to somehow kill them. I'm definitely not in the best of shape now, but what can you do when you live in the ocean. I see many different kinds of fish and sea creatures, they're quite beautiful actually. 

Some years have past now, and I'm starting to see a lot less sea animals, I wonder where they all went. I feel myself been washed up to shore, the sun gleaming and the warm grains of sand. This beach is different to where I first got left behind, very different. I feel the ground start to shake and I'm suddenly picked up by something. Its sharp, wet, and furry. I see one of the things that left me behind at the other place.  It pulls me away from whatever is holding me and throws me back into the ocean. 

Occasionally I see a rainbow. Normally after a large floating device comes by. In fact I can even touch it. I have seen other things eat it though and die, so I just admire from a distance. Something very interesting happened today, I saw someone who looked similar to me, it had six loops and was tied around a turtles neck. Must be a new trend.

All the beautiful, colourful reef I use to see, is now a lot less colourful. Which is a shame. I also saw a plastic bag attached to one of the reefs. We had a small chat, it said how it's travelled around a lot and went to a place called Australia, whatever that is. Sometimes I wonder how long I've been gone from home. I miss the view even though I only saw it through a plastic shield thing. I have noticed the water is getting greener. 

Over my 500 years of life I have travelled to many places, seen many things and killed many animals. I also see my family everywhere now, well I can't see really well because the water is a lot more greener and dirtier. I also see a lot more foreigners like plastic bags. There are also quite a few cities like, Trolley City and Traffic Cone City. It really has been a hard life been a plastic water bottle.
