A day in the life of a slave- By: Izah

A Day in the Life Of A Slave

Just like any other day I woke up on the floor and got ready for the day.

My master Jim demanded “Izah go make me food!”

“Will do.” I sighed.

I spent the afternoon in the agora and cleaning the house. A day in my life is quite repetitive and ordinary. Wishing to be with my family and spending time with my friends was also a part of my routine.

daydreaming about things I would’ve done if I wasn’t here working for some random family not even blood related gets me upset sometimes. I wish that I could be born in ancient wouldn’t have to put up with my master. Even though the masters wife is very nice I still want to see my family. My family was born in ancient Athens but they were on a trip for a week and I was born earlier than my due date. So I was born in Italy, when my parents and me came back from Italy to Athens they said that I could become a metic but my parents didn’t have that money. So my only choice was to become a slave. I’ve been a slave since the age of 14.

The last family I have been with kicked me out, I'm happy they did because they were abusive to me. I got to my bed (the floor and a dirty rug)! I was not allowed to wash my lushes face or clean my teeth.
