Happy birthday

Six Words: Museum, Prison, Aloof, Birthday, Supply, Sequence

As her birthday neared, she contemplated the sequence of events that brought her to this environment. Was she like a muse, in one of the temples that would later be called museums? What, really, is the difference between a museum and a prison. Both are places that contain things that are unusual and that most people will never be near outside of these edifices.

Museums, she decided, are places that people cherish, because of what they preserve and what they teach. Prisons are places that are mostly ignored, as people remain aloof, simply not caring.

I wonder, do they supply birthday cakes in prison?
