Today marks the day that I've been here for exactly a week. Only a week and I've already almost been sent to the slammer twice. I've been there once already, it wasn't the best place ever, I mean it wasn't a five star hotel experience. But I would do it all over again for her.

That Hank guy from yesterday caused me a bit of trouble, but he got more of a punishment than me. Alby understood the situation, if he didn't I would've beaten the hell out of him too.

"Thomas, are you listening?" Winston waves a hand in front of my face.

Fuck. I zoned out again.

Today I'm trying out to be a Slicer, it's my last day trying out for jobs. I don't think I'm going to get any. None. I probably won't even be a Slopper. My thought's have been too.. Occupied.. By her.

She's been drawing my attention away from everything. I can't do anything without looking for something that reminds me of her. God, she's like a spider web that I can't seem to escape.

"Uh, yeah!" I nervously scratch the back of my neck, "What did you say?"

"I was telling you I need you to go feed the animals," he looks me up and down, "You're not ready to kill one yet."

"Kill one? You kill them?"

Dumb question, Thomas.

"How else do you expect to eat?" Winston shrugs, "If you want us not to just say the word, we'll let everyone starve instead."

"No— what," I groan, "Feed the animals, got it."

I pick up a scooper and take a scoop out of the fresh forage that Winston keeps in a wooden bucket, then I begin walking outside, intending to go to the animal coops that are about 10 feet away.

I freeze when I see something.. Someone. Lynnie. My Lyn.

I scoff, you're with Gally? Out of everyone you have to be best friends with Gally?

She doesn't look very happy with him, she actually doesn't look very happy around anyone. I intend to change that.

"Thomas!" Winston shouts from the door of the Slicer's hut, snapping my attention away for Lyn, "The animals!"

Screw the animals, I want to be with her.

I know that can't happen right now so instead I give her one last glance before entering the coops.

As soon as I enter I'm swarmed with animals, chicken and goats. I hold out the scoop of forage, I want to get this done quickly, I have more important things to do, more important people to see.

The goats eat half the forage, then I sprinkle the rest on the ground for the chickens, but of course the goats get to some of that too.
