The smell of morning dew calms me on my dreaded journey to the factory. As I stumble along the rocky path, wishing, just wishing I could go and enjoy the little time I have left as a child. I approach the old structure and the sounds of banging and yells surround my bony structure, but I continue. I hesitantly walked towards the building, making me stop before entering thinking “Do I really need to go in?”. A tall dark figure with an expression on his face that can only describe anger yells at me to get inside or I won't get my dinner and shoves me inside.

I give myself a quick bath, put my pyjamas on, and lay in my bed. I think about that boy as I lay in my bed and if he got to heaven alright but I need to sleep so I stop.
