Times that sucked the life right out of you

By: Stephen L
Texas, Grade: 6

It was 2:30am, and I was still working.It never stops. The work never stops.It is hard enough working like this, and the pay,oh the pay was terrible.Pennies a day,pennies I tell you.It's horrible.I mean we barley have enough to live on.Going days sometimes weeks with out food.We are lucky if we get clean water but we usually just drink stinky stagnated water.Hopefully things get better soon.Caus i honestly dont know how much longer we can last.

Sincerely,
Stephen.p.lawless
