The nimble fingers that Angora possessed worked on one of many new Peacekeeper uniforms. One of the women was deathly ill and even though she was still at work, she was moving exceedingly slow. Orders were starting to get backed up, which meant that all hands were on deck. Breaks couldn’t last more than ten minutes and that was if you were lucky enough to get a break. Angora wasn’t one of the lucky ones. She had been sitting in the same seat since she got out of school and was working her fingers to the bone, or at least that’s how it felt. They were starting to ache but she knew she needed to push on.
Her aquamarine eyes scanned the room and came upon a boy she’s seen at school. She never really spoke to him and she had had no idea that he even worked here. Her eyes only lingered on him for a few moments before returning to her work. So much needed to get done and Angora knew she wasn’t going to be leaving the factory until late. A sigh escaped past her lips at the thought of all the homework she still needed to do. She wondered if she would even be going to bed tonight. This wasn’t the first time that Angora needed to step it up at the factory and work on homework through the night. On days like that, she was maybe lucky enough to get two hours of sleep before school and one time, she didn’t get any sleep at all. She had merely finished her homework, got dressed for school and left her house. That was probably the worst day she’s had to face so far. A part of her knew there would be more like that, though.
Angora looked over the, now, finished peacekeeper uniform, pulling off any loose threads and cleaning off any dirt that was on it. Once her inspection was over, she went it off to another worker to inspect it further. If Peacekeepers received a uniform that was damaged or dirty, the factory would have hell to pay. She could really only recall one time that had happened and it was when Angora’s mother was a young lady. Thankfully, no one has had to experience another incident like that in quite some time.
Now that the uniform was finished, Angora took a second to sit back in her chair and stretch a little. Her fingers, back and neck were killing her and her stomach was beginning to growl. She couldn’t wait for the factory whistle to sound, signifying the end of a very long day. As she sat there stretching out her battered limbs, she looked back over at the boy with the dark hair.
