2. Ben

I am a soldier.

Chapter two - Ben

I am Ben.

I am the storyteller. When night comes I tell the others stories about the outside, the good place and the nomalies.

I am a climber. It was I that found the high place, where we give our teeth to the blue lady.

I am the little big brother. I am nearly as old as Zack, but I'm not as tall as the others are.

I am taller than Max, Jondy and Syl though.

I am brave.

I am afraid. I am afraid that the Colonel will find out about baby brother Jack's shakes and take him away to the nomalies.

I am the second oldest.

I am nearly 10.

I am ready to get out of here. I need to help my baby brothers and sisters have a better life.

I am the one they come to when they are scared.

I am a shadow. None of the TAC leaders notice me.

I am a small soldier.
