Sean spent 6 days working hard 12 hours a day and sleeping in the shed. The work was hard and the shed was uncomfortable. Albert and Edna were very demanding
Finally on the 7th day Sean was looking forward to a rest. Also he was looking forward to his $50 ''pocket money'' even though it was outrageous and insulting that he would be paid so little but it was better than nothing right now
''So Sir, ma'am, today you will give me my pocket money'' Sean said
''Well we aren't sure if you're working hard enough or doing a good enough job'' Albert complained and Sean was furious. He was sure he had been working extremely hard and doing an excellent job all week
''Sir i don't think this is true or fair'' Sean said angrily ''i am working very hard and doing a good job Sir''
''Well we think you need to work a lot harder'' Edna said ''And we've decided that today you will have to work again and not have a rest''
Now Sean was completely horrified and furious ''Is this a fucking joke?'' he asked
''It is not a joke young man'' Albert said sternly ''We do not think you should be paid or given a day off if you fail to do your work well enough''
''Ah but Sir come on. I worked hard every day. Where did i go wrong really?''
''We just think you need to work harder'' Edna said ''And from now on you better work 14 hours a day instead of 12 and we might have to reconsider if you are allowed a day off at all''
''Now you're really going too far!'' Sean said
''Well we are telling you our terms'' Albert said ''You must obey us if you want to stay here''
''Yeah well i would like my $50 now please Sir'' Sean said bitterly
''Oh no sorry not this week. We will not give you any pocket money this time as a punishment. If you try harder next week then we can review it and maybe then we'll pay you''
''YOU CAN'R BE FUCKING SERIOUS REALLY!'' Sean yelled. This was the limit and it was impossible to keep his temper any longer
''Well boy now that you insist on shouting and swearing and having a bad attitude you'll have to go without any food today too!''
''I'm starving!'' Sean whined ''I must eat really Sir''
''You cannot be allowed food unless you start behaving better. No more bad attitude boy!''
''Yes Sir i am sorry'' Sean said and he wasn't sorry at all. He was very angry ''So please can we discuss this again? I feel that you are being way too harsh Sir''
''No those are out terms and its final'' Edna said ''You will work 14 hours a day 7 days a week and at the end of every week we will decide if you deserve your pocket money or not. We will also decide every day whether to feed you or not''
''You know what there is no way i am staying here to put up with anymore of this'' Sean said ''I will leave right now''
Bizarrely Albert and Edna seemed surprised by this. As if they seriously expected Sean to stay and put up with their ridiculous conditions. Of course it was giving Sean a taste of what he had done to the boys but Sean wasn't going to decide he deserved it because of that even though he did. All week he had been wondering if he would be able to stick this out long term and now it was clear that he would not be able to. He was also sure that Albert and Edna were both insane
Sean began to leave. But when he tried to leave he found all the doors and gates locked
''Open the doors and let me go please'' he demanded
