slowly moving to the hut as commanded, entering and looking to find a hoe, shovel, and a trough, carrying them out of the hut and moves to the gardens, looking to the vegetables as i set the shovel and trough aside, moving to the tomatoes, sinking the hoe into the ground, scraping it slow and deep, revealing fresh tomatoes as the dirt cultivates.

continuing to scrape the ground with the hoe, collecting the tomatoes that i find, setting them aside, and discarding the bad ones as i get at weeds and grass, while i hoe the earth, breaking a sweat as i brush my forehead.

and says to Kimba**Panther Claw Lair:
*i entered the storage hut, eyes adjusting to the darkness, and fumbled around until i found a trowel, basket, two shovels, and other items needed for our work. Piling them into my arms, i staggered out of the hut, broad shoulders tenses to carry the load. i shuffled across the compound into the garden area, feeling the ground press damply beneath my bare feet as the ankle chain clinked.*

counting the tomatoes that i bring out from the ground, using the hoe to unearth the ground more, making it soft and ready for further use, as i peek to see a brother bring another shovel and hoe, the shackle dragging along the ground as i move back to the garden to get at the tomatoes, using the through to get at the weeds more.

and says to Kimba**Panther Claw Lair:
*i went to the tomato patch, and dropped the tools on the ground, then sank to my knees, putting the basket next to me. i began pulling the tomatos off the vine, careful not to rupture them, neatly separating them from the vine and placing them gently into the basket. Most were ripe; the others would ripen later. i reached under the bushes, careful to get the ones out of sight, and feeling around and under the leaves to be sure to get all of them. The basket was three quarters full, and i moved it out of the way, standing up and stretching for a moment.*

*i then took the shovel and carefully loosened the tomato plants from the soil, bending down to pull each one out of the earth, shaking the soil loose and laying it on its side a short distance away. i got up, moved down a couple of feet, applied the shovel to the next plant, and did the same.*

and says to Kimba**Panther Claw Lair:
*Finally all the tomato plants, stripped of their tomatos, had been removed from the soil and laid to one side, away from what would become a grave. i did not care to see the body until i had to; best to dig the trench first. i put my foot on the shovel, hampered by the 20" chain, digging down a little way and turning the soil, then put both feet on the dirt, bending at the knees to lift the spadeful and move it to one side, where the pile of dirt would go. Then i swung the shovel around and dug into the dirt again, deeper, again hampered by the ankle chain, and again shoveled down into another chunk of dirt, bending to lift it and carefully swing the shovel around to the pile, turnign the shovel and depositing the dirt there. And then... again...*

*i continued digging, sweat rolling off my head and shoulders, down my chest. i was grateful to have something to do to take my mind off my owner's intentions for.... i could not face it. i turned my mind back to the grave that was growing deeper. An ahn passed, and another, as i stepped down into the grave, shoving the blade into the dirt, turning it, scooping it, lifting it, then lifting the blade upward and flinging the dirt up over the side of the grave onto the growing pile of dirt by the side.*
