District Shade

The Government

Max's POV.

Its still me, Steve isn't mad about the last part,
He just went writing on something again.
And me, I stayed still where I'm standing
Steve warned me not to go outside.
He seems to notice that the darkness is getting an even darker shade.

Nothing much in this day.
I'll end it here again.

Day 3:
Steve was dead silent last night when he's asleep.
We were in a bunk bed, not separate rooms.
I was on the top bed, I can't sleep and I was facing the roof the whole time, the darkness made me think I was already asleep, I think I opened my eyes until the morning while asleep, that made me more dead than Steve.

I can't tell if its morning, but I woke up.
I'm trying to see if Steve is up, well shit, I don't see literally anything.
Good thing I listened to Steve.
Not really listen but he wrote it all on a piece of paper.

Someone by the door just knocked.
It better not be another sick smelly prank.
I couldn't see so I just let Steve open the door.
This thing I'm touching right now is soft.
So I'm guessing these are pillows.
I dunno, I just guessed.
But who cares I sat on it anyway.
I think I'm a room away from Steve talking to a stranger.
"Ahh hello..might I ask your name?"
Steve was just silent, this was his usual response.
Why wouldn't he just use sign language,
Oh yeah, right. "..oh?" He added.
"Oh yeah Steve!, of course I knew"
Steve did his response again.
"Oh yes of course, Why I'm here?, I'm just here to give you and your new roommate a little job"
I had a feeling Steve is confused because that is probably my reaction too.
"By the way, where is this roommate of yours"
He asked, "I'm right here" I came out finding where the heck they are. "Oh I see you're not so capable in the dark" He loudly announced.
Im not in the mood to answer back.
"This job, what is it" I forced myself to say.
"Oh that, he he you see we might need a hand for farming or mining, you see we are not forcing you but we still need help, its for the government, but its also okay if you don't want to, if you are though please give us a call, you can choose what you want to do"He pleaded.
"Oh umm, we'll think about it I guess?"
"..Great!, here is our number dial us or call us by our name home"
Why does he keep saying us and we?
Well doesn't matter really.

I'm glad there's something we could do instead of sipping tea all day, good thing I memorized where the toilet is.

Don't blame me if there are grammar corrections, blame the admin who wrote this.
