Another day, another chore, another reminder of how very worthless she was to her father. Milah, wash the clothes. Milah, take this to town. Milah, why did you let them pay so little? Milah! In the past she accepted it. It was just her lot in life. Well, no more. This was it. By tomorrow she would be free.
Milah was headed to the port, a location she visited often for both personal and business reasons. There, she would find passage, somehow, she didn’t care how, and get out of here.
Of course, all of this relied on the fact that she would even make it to the port. There was a very heavy bag hefted over her shoulder and whether it was because it was cheap and worn, the gods hated her, or it was just going to be one of those days, it had ripped and scattered the contents of her father’s harvest over the ground. They were meant for market but, well, she needed some subsistence for her journey and he owed her. Milah quickly turned and crouched down, collecting wayward potatoes and ears of corn.
