The Fruits of Earth - Part 7
Tuesday, January 08, 2019
They are showing us inside the Villa, the one every nursery girl dreams to enter. The Villa where they are taking the seeds to be cared for and nurtured until adoption. It is in the western part of the Farm, right near the access road and quite away from the Nursery.
It is an imposing structure of two stories, beautifully painted on the exterior and decorated with long silky curtains in red and orange, shiny steel furniture and intricate looking wall art in the interior. The walls are a pure white and ivory color and they have a golden stripe across, at hip’s height. The lighting compliments the room with its soft, warm glow. It’s just perfect!
Some girl servants are also waiting for us here. They help us settle in this new facility. I seem to recognize some of them, but I’m not sure. They are several seasons older than me. They are chosen from the fruits, no doubt, judging from their haunted looks. Curious, I thought all the fruits were going to the Labor camp. Well, I guess some of them are allowed a better living, probably for good behavior. Who knows, maybe Tina is also here. Would be nice to reunite with her, even if she’s just a fruit and I’m a seed now.
There are also supervisors here - I saw their blue coats - but they seem to not pay attention to the newcomers. Even better, I appreciate liberty.
The servants guide us to our dormitory. Actually, to our rooms, because each of us has a separate room! A separate room with a huge bed and a wardrobe for clothes, a lavatory and a toilet table with a big shiny mirror. And in the corner, the wonder of wonders: a bookshelf full of volumes. I could just faint of happiness.
I remember one of the elder supervisors told us a story once, when I was younger. Something about a young girl, Belle, a princess who had everything she ever wished for and lived in a grand palace full of wonders. It made little sense at the time, but now it starts to sound convincing. This must be how it feels to be a princess.
