I walk around camp exposed. I feel like one of my arms has been cut off from my body, but in actuality it is much worse than that. My dream job is no longer mine. As much trouble as I had with some aspects of this work, I could not ask for anything better. And now it has been snatched from my fingers by a cold-hearted devil woman.

It is probably a spectacular sunrise, but for me it is all a blur. I am now awake for almost twenty four hours. Julio did not come to replace me.

He does not look tired - and he does not have a reason to, I have seen him sleep - he looks bored.

"You look bored", I say.

I missed the postings of the past two chapters but am all caught up now. I really like where the story is headed and the boots. The episodes are suspenseful and really good writing.

yahdoo, to answer some of your questions, Eliza is the big-eyed one on the left, and Julie is the dark-skinned one on the bottom row.
