I can feel it inside of me, eating away at my guts, the pain is overwhelming. Others in my time also feel this type of pain, the burning sensation, eating everything inside on you, most people blame it on "The Bosses". The "Bosses" posses power to do what ever they want and get away with it, unlike the rest of us, and the "Bosses" force us to do work and tell us when and where we are free to go.

The pain is much worse; luckily I find scraps of food dropped by one of the Bosses under their desk, it weakens the pain, but only temporarily. Some of the Bosses just love to taunt us with food and drinks, forcing us to watch as they feast upon their meals like the savages they are, and once there was a worker just like me, poor fellow, his pain was serious, and he hadn't eaten in days, he had no choice but to ask one of the Bosses for some food, and, well that was the last of him.

I hear them in the corridors, the other part of the workers have been released, these types of people are better known as the spoiled ones. I proudly admit that I loved when I was a spoiled one, sadly now I'm not because it is mostly the new workers that are spoiled, some of the new workers aren't spoiled, but only few.

I am grateful that the horrid taunts of the spoiled ones have faded away down to nothing, but now the pain is excruciating , and so unbearable, it- it feels like something is-is-is piercing through my stomach, I can't go on longer. Wait! I completely forgot about the substance my packed me, I quickly search my bag and find a small carton. YES! YES! YES! I found it! I open up the carton of what appears to be thin packages, is this it, the material the others always talk about. It has to be! I place it in my mouth and a blast of minty freshness hits my mouth, now it is starting to help with the pain. Others soon see the substance that I have just placed in my mouth, and beg me to give it to them.

I am almost at the point of death, but thankfully the Bosses have decided to have mercy on us, they will be releasing us soon, so we may go to the "Food Pit", where you can eat as much as you want, but there's a catch, there food is made from garbage harvested by the community's sewer plants and dumpsters. Once in a while they brings us with not so filthy garbage to feast on, but there is another catch, you must pay for all food, but you must pay extra for the "better" food.

I'm definitely intrigued...who are these bosses? I'll have to re-read it and solve the mystery.
ReplyDeleteVery strong for word choice and voice.
I thought it was really interesting. Your voice sounded like you were homeless and that you were kind of a slave of some sort. When you said " My hunger is gone" did that mean that he was dead.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding voice! This really gives the reader a good idea of how hungry you are. this makes it seem that eating is like a war. I think its great the way it is.
ReplyDeletewhen I was writing this piece, I over exaggerated being hungry, and what goes on around me, and the bosses were meant to be teachers, and I didn't exaggerate the food for your information
ReplyDeleteTHIS SO SO FUNNY I have read it before but it always makes me laugh haha!!
