Riley

2

“Hey! Slaves! Get up! Unless you want to get whipped! And I know that you wouldn’t want to get whipped again, Riley What-Ever-Your-Last-Name-Is, would you!” A patrol said, and a voice that Riley suddenly recognized as the patrol person who whipped her when she was only 3 ½. She even knew his name, Bob Lem, the meanest guard ever. His voice trailed off as Riley remembered that day, part by part.

“Riley! Wake up! Come on! ‘Tis already noon! Riley!” Emily Whispered frantically. Then, the same guard that yelled at her today came in, grabbed her, and then took her outside and whipped her, Riley tragically remembered. Suddenly, once again waken out of her thoughts, Emily looked white. At first, Riley was confused. “Emily? Why are looking like that?” Then Emily pointed and Riley immediately saw why she looked white. On the floor was a new born baby, and she was still asleep. If she didn’t wake up within the next few minutes, Riley didn’t want to think about it.
