Stanton - I always thought of it as a romantic place. A system of mystery and adventure. Came here six months ago thinking it would be an escape from earth. I wanted some time to think, to figure out what to do with my life. A year in the mines sounded like a great way to straighten myself out.
Man... Was I a fool.
Life in the mines is hell. I haven't had a minute to myself since I got here. We're jammed eight into a ship, timesharing our bunks... The guards are everywhere! The UEE doesn't care if we live or die. We're at the breaking point. The guy next to you dies before your eyes, and your turn could come any minute.
Someone is putting up pamphlets in the barracks, urging miners to revolt against the UEE. Nothing's come of it yet. You spend ten hours, drenched in your own sweat in your miner suit. Grinding away at rocks, while the guards make sure you work the whole shift. Your shift is finally over and all you've done is dig yourself in a little deeper.
Don't know how long I can keep doing this.
