As the day wore on I finally finally finished sawing and had a nice stack of wood to show for it. Greg smiled at me as he continued to hammer part of a roof onto the top of a hut.

I sighed stretching out my arm muscles that were kind of sore from being in that sawing position for an hour and a half.

Suddenly a different builder, one with dirty blonde hair and birthmark on his neck walked up to me with a pile of scrap wood that wouldn't be much use anymore. " Say Ferris? Do you mind bringing this to the Sloppers, its straight ahead through the Forest to the left. You should see them" He told me and handed me the wood and I just nodded. It gave me an excuse to stretch my legs.

I carried the wood to the Sloppers who were apparently the boys who weren't really good at anything and were given the job that no one else wanted. Basically the lowest ranking job. Chuck was their Keeper.

I gave the wood to a boy who must have worked there and then left going back to the builders.

I was maybe halfway there when suddenly a large force shoved me into a tree. I went to scream but a large hand cut me off. I desperately tried to extract myself from the person's grip and turned to see the wild green eyes of a boy who I think was named Ben.

He pushed me to the floor where I squirmed frantically but he was far stronger than I was and he punched me causing the back of my head to hit a root and make my vision go all fuzzy.

" It's your fault! We are cursed here!" He yelled insanely at me. What the hell was he flaking about?

I tried to get his hand off my mouth and finally managed to bite his hand that caused him to quickly let go. " HELP! GALLY! HEL-" I screamed out but Ben slammed my head back into the ground making it obviously bleed now. Gally? Why him?

But I had no time to contemplate as Ben wrapped his large hands around dmynneck and started to squeeze. It  felt like my head was going to explode as he caught of my oxygen. I wanted to cry but was so scared I could hardly move, it was as if I was paralyzed. I wasn't even able to fight back much, I just clawed at his hands. Amazingly I managed to use one of my nails and claw his face but he hardly flinched from the scratch.

I stopped clawing at his hands and instead reached out blindly to my side looking for something to hit him with and my hands fell upon something rough that felt like a rock and I brought it up to his temple and that sunned him. 

Suddenly a blur shoved him off of me. That blur ended up being none other than a seriously ticked off Gally who had Ben on the ground punching the tar out of him.

Alby showed up as well as a med jack whose name was Winston, I had meant him at the bonfire. The back of my head fell like it had been hit with a bowling ball and I was gasping for breath as they tried to sit me up causing me to see stars fly across my vision as well as those little black dots you see after a vogel response. It felt like the back of my head was like a warm sponge being squished so all the water came out. ( I passed out once in science so I know how it really feels).

And then suddenly everything just went dark.

Like the night sky.

I was almost...

Just almost,

Peaceful.

Short but dramatic
