  2. Story, by: Riley I was living in west Africa. My mother and I were living regular lives when out of the blue strangers kidnapped me. They chained us with others and led us to the shore. When the painful walk was done and I had seen several of my neighbors and friends being whipped we arrived at a big ship with strange, white aliens who put us on shelves, close together, with our arms and legs shackled. We were given little food and my whole body ached. I couldn’t move and my throat stung of thirst. After three months of this the ship stopped and I was led onto a strange, unknown land. People wore lots of clothes and it was cold, compared to home. Mom was put on a platform. She looked very ragged and put down. People (the alien kind) called out in strange voices strange words. After a little she was handed over to a man who took her away. Then it was my turn. I stepped onto the platform and after a few people a man took me. He took me to a plantation and that’s where I’m now, working for nothing.
