Chapter 2 by FailingHearts FailingHearts

What's next?

Adventure awaits?

A warm orange light pours into your room from betwixt the gaps of your curtains, as the twin suns rise in the west. You breath in the air is cold and your mouth is dry, it burns in your lungs. In the distance you hear the tolling of bells and the screeching of Laou laou as they soar overhead. Peoples voices fill the air as they march down the street in prayer to their goddess. Slowly you open your eyes, blinking you stare at the ceiling of your room. wooden beams and floor boards criss-cross it.
*SCREEEeeeEEEEeeEEEEE* "ALl wORKerS, WORK dAy STartS Here" a commanding feminine voice blares over the speakers.
"Yes ma`am" you say to yourself sarcasticly. Sitting up you throw open the curtains, thick white snow coats the street and buildings, it glistens and sparkles as the dawn light dances across it's surface. Groggily you get up and put on your workers uniform. A pair of black steel toed boots, a thin navey blue jumpsuit, navey blue overalls, dirty black gloves and a dark yellow hard hat. you look at yourself in the mirror before leaving your room, your uniform is covered in soot and it has already spread to your face. leaving your room you enter into the kitchen and grab your red, tin lunch box before leaving.
You join the masses of workers leaving their homes all of them men and boys as young as eleven. You march along in silence as you leave the town and make your way down the mountainside. All the while futas ride along the sides of the column, their black and red uniforms standing out against the sky, rifles in hand.
Hours pass and you finally make it to a huge complexe of mines, foundries, and factories, the main source of the empires munitions. You make your way to the main mine entrance, grabbing a pick and a box lantern off the rack before making your way to the cage. Men and boys pack themselves into the cage with you as you wait, suddenly the cage door drops and seals you in.
"Cage going down" a man calls to your left as he pulls a lever down, and a motor whirrs to life and the cage lurches befor continuing slowly. The cage stops six times before you finally reach your stop, opening the cage you step out and click on your lantern, it springs to life and illuminates the tunnels before you. Setting out you make your way through a laberinth of tunnels pushing a cart in front of you, you make it to the end of the tracks and begin to work.
You spend the next twelve hours working.
*ScrEEEEeeeEEeeEEeEeeee* "WOrk DAY endS HeRE, HEad HOMe CHAPS." The same feminine voice barks over the speakers again. You head up the mines and deposit your gear on the rack you got it from. Walking to join the group of workers waiting at the gates, you're startled by a series loud explosions as sections of the munitions factory are engulfed in flames. And all hell breaks loose. A swarm of men exit the factory with red bandanas over their faces, and guns in their hands.
"We won't be silenced kill them all" A man at the head of the pack shouts holding his rifle in the air. Diving to the ground you watch as they begin to wage their war.

Fight or flight?

More fun
