Here we go again that bloody alarm going off. Okay, we get it a new sap is on his way up the shaft. It's happened at the same time, on the same day, in the same week of every month. You don't need to blast those bugging things!

As usual everyone in the glade (except the runners) are waiting around by the box. The greenies stand together, looking rather excited to see who the poor sucker is this time.

Where as the rest of us look unfazed by the fact a new shank is going to join our odd community. The only sign that we aren't asleep is on the odd occasion when we flinch due to the alarms getting louder.

Clank. That sound means the box has come to its stop. Most likely with a passed out teenager inside. Gally and Dave open the doors. Deep down curiosity slowly started to bubble inside of me so I peer down to see who this month's victim is.

For once we weren't met by the sight of a pale looking body with its limbs pointing out in uncomfortable looking angles. We are met by curious eyes staring up at us.

Beautifully curious eyes!
