Jack age 36 was outside with a sign to sell himself to whomever could use him, he groaned he had been doing this for two hours and nobody wanted him yet. Everybody knew that getting jobs was not very easy and it would mostly depend your skill and strength. He had been one of the unlucky ones but he was determined to stop at nothing to be given a job. His back ached and his brain could only focus one that one thing. GETTING A JOB! Beside him was a shorter unknown man who also wanted a job. The two of them have been standing outside together for all this time. Time had passed it was unknown what time it was when a short man a head shorter than Jack offered the thirty six year old a job. Jack’s mouth felt too weak to speak as he had not been eating much for the past three weeks. The short master took Jack’s reaction to being a no and came to the other man who also struggled but managed to mouth the words “yes”. And the two were gone in a rapid amount of time leaving Jack all alone coughing in the cold and beating himself up for his lack of being able to move his lips that were now frozen in the cold.
