I am the bean. Not just any bean but the key to everyone’s hunger problems. I feel myself being passed from hand to hand, being fought over constantly. Suddenly, I’m placed in some place dark and cold. I try to climb out but a rush of water comes shooting down on me. I hear the coins jingling on the table, meaning I was sold. I spend about 2 week in the dark, maybe more. It’s hard to have a perception of time. Until I’m suddenly above the soil again! I’m constantly becoming taller day by day and eventually can look over the entire row of soil. Shortly after, some of my friends joined me in overlooking as well. We always have so much fun together, compared to the wet and dark underground, being thrown side to side in the wind is so much fun! Suddenly, a sharp and cold metallic tool cuts my stem and I fall over. I’m now laying down in a crate with others that look exactly like me, Im suprised! I try to become friends with my lookalikes around me, but they say it’s pointless as we will not be together for long. Unexpectedly, a strong odor of harsh chemicals is sprayed over me. That’s the last thing I remember.
