Dear diary,Today my master Thomas sent me to go collect apples from the apple tree, I did as so but I tripped on the root and dropped all the apples.Thomas  shrieked at me saying that it was finally my turn. Thomas dragged me to a tree and straped me up and, started to hit me with the whip. Other slaves say that when it happens it means that you have up set the master or done something wrong.One slave named Jackson told me a story of when he did something very bad and Thomas left him in a metal box in the sun for one hour.Jackson said that when he put cold water on him when he took him out of the box he was burned all over his body.This was the worst life I have ever had and for my parents Thomas shot them when they refused to do his work. Today is the day Jackson and I sneek into  Thomas's house to kill him with the help of a retired slave master named John to

free all the slaves in this farm.
