In the late evening, loud noises and shouts of guards scurrying for equipment and weapons resounded near the farm.

On a cool autumn morning, Singh knocked and entered the barn. His hand moved unconsciously towards his head, patting down any strands of loose hair and then smoothed and fixed his clothing. He steadied his breathing with some deep breaths, removing the fluster from his face.

In the autumn morning, a crowd gathered outside the workshop building after the morning meal.
Chu stood on a bench, as his gaze passed over the residents of the farm. Some had firm faces and steely eyes, others had red sleepless eyes that darted to the side when facing his gaze. 2018-08-14 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Chu woke up in the barn. A beam of morning sun illuminated the bedroom, coming through the 'beast-proof' window. The room might give others the first impression of a jail, but to him, it provided safety and assured him of control. This place, he built it, he called home.
