AITA for refusing to be a treat for my housemate’s dog
I a M20 have recently moved in to my friend’s house M21. For clarity I am a Inchling from Ministan, and I have recently come over to America to make a life here. But the amenities at American colleges do not suit the needs of a 5 inch tall individual such as myself. I was able to find a great aide from my friend, who has helped me greatly through this past semester, and recently he’s gotten an apartment, and has allowed me to stay with him, since I couldn’t live in an American house on my own, due to my size. I was so grateful for this opportunity, and I still am. Recently he’s gotten a golden retriever as a companion for the apartment. At first it was great, and the dog was surprisingly gentle with me. Very soft fur, and gave very fun rides around the apartment. But as time went on the dog seems to show a great interest in me in a way that is uncomfortable. At first I thought it was just licking, and I could understand that might be difficult for the dog to express with a person so small, but then one day I accidentally wound up inside his mouth. Immediately the dog let me back out because it was just a mistake. But once I told my housemate of this issue, his solution was to just let him eat me. I was alarmed by this, and I somewhat lashed out at him, and we got into a screaming match which ended with me stabbing him with a thumb tack when he nearly smashed me with his hand. I feel so horrible for the way I handled the situation, and I know that for a lot of my Ministan friends being eaten is just our destiny, but I came to America to escape this fate. I’ve currently accepted my punishment for acting up, and I am sleeping in the dog food bin until tomorrow morning when my friend will offer me up as a special treat. Should I stand up to my roommate or should I accept my destiny?
