I will post one more chapter. If no one responds to this I will stop. Though I really don't want to, but I don't want to take up space in this board.
ch.7: Jobe's choices
Jobe started to panic as his boss was kindly smiling at him. Did he want to really have this great honor? He has thought about this ever since he saw the factory again. Did he want to kill his own boss who created him? While Jobe was thinking he heard his boss say in his own calm voice.
"You know Jobe. If you agree to this I will let them all go." "What Boss?" "The sligs and the mudokons. If you become head slig I will let you have them under your control.
I know you want them all to be free, and I don't have anything against that." "What about that conversation you had with the comm. earlier? Why did you not tell him?" "Jobe please you know he won't understand. He'll try to kill you all before you even step foot out if I told him."
"So you want the sligs to be free? Why did you not tell us all in the first place?" "There would be mixed feelings about it i'm sure. That is why I gave you a list of what sligs would probably understand this situation." The boss showed a list of what seemed like endless names. Jobe could not read them all right now, but he knew he had all the time in the world to do this.
"So Jobe." Said his happy faced like boss. "Do you want to take the Job?"
Jobe would have said yes hastily, but one question was still in his mind. "Sir....What will you do with the sligs that are not in this list?" "My life will probably end soon Jobe.... In 5 days after you leave I will activate the boiler and destroy myself along with all the other sligs here that would probably betray you."
Jobe hesitated now. He almost felt what seemed like a tear from his eye which seemed impossible. For 10 straight minutes he was sitting on his bed thinking hard. So hard he felt as though his brains would die out. Jobe finnaly made his decision.
He stood up, took a deep breath, and said with all his might: "I'll do it"
