A Day in the Life Of A Slave!

By Ella Anderson

I wake up to Brandon screaming 10 different tasks at me. The only one I heard was

“Make me breakfast.”

Once I got a little more awake I rolled off the dirty rotten ground, and walk out of my room and made his usual breakfast. He always had porridge and berries. When I was just finishing up Melisa walled out of her room. She told me we were going to the farmers market after we finished up our breakfast.

Around 1 minute later Brandon walked out and Melissa told him that we were all going to the angora. It took us 15 minutes to get their. As we were walking around the market there was a slave holding a rope that looked like it had red paint on it. Suddenly it hit Brandon in the back of the leg.

“Congratulations” the slave said as he was walking over.

You get to attend the Assembly, and if you don’t attend you will get fined.  Alright see you tomorrow. “Alright let's go back for lunch.” Brandon exclaimed

When we got back I made lunch for everyone. We ate bread and dried fish. Brandon said it was delicious.

“Clean this up now” Brandon declared as he walked away. Like my usual routine. My routine is I always wash the plates and wipe down  the table, until I see my face is what Brandon always says.

Most of the day I was just doing chores like cleaning the house up. Until suddenly I heard Melissa say

“I am hungry” can you start dinner. Melisa edged.

I went outside into the garden and picked all the berries and I was planning to make some bread to dip in wine. When Brandon got back he had the bread so I got started on the cutting up the bread. Melisa and Brandon sat at the table and ate all of it up.

That is a day in the life of a slave!
