"Do you proclaim unending service to Paramatman?"
Knowing this job was the only way to feed the children, but not believing it zhe uttered
"of course I do"
"And are you married?"
"No but I hope to be soon." another lie.
"Well good, you look like the type we could really use, so Welcome to the Uniccord family Nolie."
Nolie breathed a sigh of relief as zhe rose from the kneeling position customary for non Uniccord members. Shaking hands with Elder Wager sent a shutter from head to toe that was hard to conceal, luckily Wager mistook the tremor for excitement and smiled.
"Well Good day" and with that the Elder left and Nolie was alone when the silent tears came.

But I WANT to go to kinder- Ameni said, or thought. It was hard to tell sometimes. Usually after speaking someone would make some reply, but just lately Ameni found more and more that they just seemed sad and didn't talk. Zhe had originally thought it was some sort of game they were all playing, but now it had been days. They weren't always quiet, sometimes they looked right into Ameni's eyes and said nice things, but never answered any questions and never seemed to hear or understand anything zhe said. It was ok overall but Ameni had been counting down to kinder for two whole cycles now and the calendar said that it was four days past due. Ameni didn't know what had changed but was starting to feel very lonely.
