Today is but another day, the first day of the first week of the new year, how about that. I need to post some stuff so you can see the furtherings of my story The Hidden Trap. Here is the next segment of my tale.
Several guards started filing down into the main hold where all the prisoners stood against the wall. A grizzled man with a choppy beard came down the stairs, he wore a uniform of Central Union with its green flannel cut cloth. He stood at the bottom and cleared his throat.
"Gentlemen, you are about to become the property of the Central Union and Enforce Central, its a merging of sorts. Whatever your crime or whatever your debt you will serve it out in the tropical heat of Sangelas VI. There is an energy shield protecting you all from the dangerous animals on the planet.
You will each get a room mate and also you will have a daily dose of medicine that will keep you from overheating. If you try to escape, you will be sentenced even longer, not that you could escape. You each were tagged when you were woken, it prevents you from leaving the main facility. Work well and you might leave on good behavior. Don't press your luck, no one has ever been that good..." The official cleared his throat again and called for the roster.
He read through the names quickly, the man next to Mort whispered, "His name is The Grinder. Most officers call him Griff, but who knows. We've been assigned as roommates, the name is Chancer and you?" he finished.
"Mort, I don't know honestly why I'm here, but I swear if I get out, I'll hunt down the bitch that put me here." Mort felt utter contempt for Cynthia now, he didn't want to feel anything else.
"Easy buddy, we all were sent here for no reasons, most of us aren't even criminals. Don't worry, just do your work and you'll know when to go..." He trailed off.
Griff came tromping over to Mort and Chancer almost immediately. "Did I ask you to speak! Stay against the wall or I'll make you stay." Griff pounded Chancer hard in the stomach sending him crunching to the floor.
He looked at Mort and swung hard at his face. Mort saw the blow coming and dodged out of the way. Griff slammed his fist in to the cold metal causing a small dent. Realizing the pain, Griff stiffled a scream and glared at Mort. "I can make things real difficult for you. Corporal, put these two in the box. Drop it just before we land. You know the drill." Griff smiled showing his three missing teeth and the gold filling.
Mort was pushed from the wall and Chancer was removed from the floor, they hurried them through two double blast doors and then the guards shoved Mort to the floor, knocking him unconscious. Chancer was picked up and the lead guard held him by the collar.
"My sister's got a new man, you won't survive to see her again." The guard laughed and punched Chancer until he landed with a loud clang against the floor. Everything went black.
Well, that was quite exciting wasn't it? Until next week TTFN. Ta Ta For Now.

New Year Resolution?
I don't believe in new year resolutions, but I will try to be better about posting something at least once a week on my blog. It's really hard to keep up with this with so many other things going on around me. I'll try better in the future. Keep watch I'll try to post stuff for a new story after my current one. See ya later.
