Oma Life On The Plantation Short Story
Out on the plantation hot about 90 degrees it felt more like 100 degrees with balls of sweat dripping from Ilaria and Oma faces as they work side by side in the cotton field.
Not daring to talk to each other nor the rest of the enslaved people as they worked in fear of Massa Whitley who was watching over them like a hawk on his horse.
Gripping tightly on his rope like he was ready to take aim at any moment.
Flashing back Oma was thinking how there were major differences between being back on the slave ship with all those people chained up and witnessing people getting thrown overboard the life of getting whipped for not eating it being hot and packed the air filled with the aroma of waste from others.

After their hard day of work Ilaria Oma and Zakai a little 12 year boy that they knew that was split up from his family so they took him in playing the role of big sisters. They planned an escape that night but they would need a lot of help from the other people for this plan to be a success.
The next morning Ilaria screaming Oma and Zakai rushed over from the cotton fields to find Ilaria being dragged and tied in ropes to a tree by the Masters. Both Oma and Zakai yelling
“No!!”
Tears in their eyes. The sound of tree branches breaking though it was a whip and loud screams come out.
“You will obey and not fall off task with your silly jokes.¨Fuchu Fuchu and a lot more of tears and screaming later all of a sudden there is silence.
Oma and Zakai running over towards Ilaria soaked in blood from her back being whipped she's let down from the tree they ran over to her in tears saying
“It’s alright we are here” Just putting fear in their hearts they reconsider to run away it will just be planned for another day
