Day 8

We are not allowed to leave.
We are not allowed to keep our names.
We are allowed to work
work and starve
and that's it.

We live in the Midwest
We live in a small town called Adrianne
They have taken control
over every one of us
for more than a week.

My name is Thomas.

...my name was Thomas.
I was a deputy here in Adrianne
But then it showed up
and with it my job, my life, and my freedom.

This is my story.
