The Desert.

The mud is shallow but is thick, My left cuff of my boot is struck. Trying hard as I can to release it from mud. It solid mud though. I trip and fell face first in to tawny sand. I felt sharp pain across my back.

It the ferocious guard ''Get up you black pig? Stop waste my time''

I slowly rise to my feet with some sort dignity remain. The shackles are cut into my flesh. I join the line of black niggers in strips uniforms. we work together in rhythmic tune with are pick axes at ready. The caramel desert blow in grain everywhere and over land to settle again. The stone is strong and tough to break with one blow. It take about hour just make mark.

I rise my hand for the guard with bucket of water to come but he was stopped by senior, rough and tough guard. Who reputation is legendary in the prison. The chain gang working 12 hours and seven days a week.

The afternoon sun is blister hot, beaten down on me and the sweat is dipping of me. I must of loss about kilo in weight. It at time again to walk the 2hours and 7 miles back to my cell.

The Cell.

In my cell the cool air is sail itself and my calm my tight muscles. With great effort I take off the lead weights that being on my feet for sixteen hours. I wriggle my toes and take look that brown crusty skin. I peel off my one of kind stripe top and lay on end of my bunk. My head is haze but settle from hard day labour. I rest my worn out body and drifted to sleep. I whisper '' I managed this far. I am 20 years in now only other 10 to go''

Only 10 years to go - on the chain gang. What a depressing thought.

I think I'd better mention - I'm assuming you meant 'desert' (loads of sand) rather than 'dessert' (pudding) in the first post - especially as that phrase 'caramel dessert' got me thinking of totally the wrong thing.

Sometimes spell check is totally useless!

Not dead (!), but is the alternative much better? I suppose if you are an optimist then yes it is.
