Chapter 7

The Reaper

Same old food as every day. Stale Toasted bread for breakfast. Then some kind of white mush with a tangy taste that makes you choke. Last dinner. It's basically a yellow version of lunch but bland with no taste.

In front of us all now is lunch. Most of the kids and new entries have a hard time stomaching it. have to give it to them Thoughugh they're doing pretty well today. I haven't had a problem with eating it I've never had another option.

Looking up from my bowl I notice a few of the others are finished doing their cleaning jobs and moved off even Though most of their bowl's contents had still remained.

I get up and go over to the back wall where there's a sink and bench that is filled with cleaning supplies at eating time.

A guard stands next to me watching as I wash my dishes and sit them up. There's no mess on the table where I was so I leave through the door into sector 12. We always get some free activity time after eating where they open the doors to giving us access to a small zone scattered with tables each table is dedicated to a different activity. They never change nothing new to expect.

I could do darts but it seems to have everyone in my own room at it taking turns seeing who can get the most points except for.

There sat on the floor in a corner knees tucked in scribbling in a book he got at breakfast. Don't know how he got it but doesn't bother me. He looks up seeing me watching him.

He smiles putting his legs down crossing them. Book resting open in this lap "Would you like to come over?" he asks.

I walk away not responding choosing to stand at the back wall fiddling with the bandages around my fingers. I had a. rough morning today.

A ball bumps into my feet. I look up three little kids stand across the room from me. They look at me then at the ball and back to me I keep looking at them. What are they doing?

"you would be a terrible father. Or brother." Sebastian has moved from his spot in the corner and is standing next to me. I didn't notice. Idiot when did. He's too close there always too close. I step back two.

He's smiling again "Kick the ball back go on. You going to?"

"I wasn't playing." I look away watching him slightly in my peripherals
