 You’ve been living on Barbados for three months now. Since the first day and your meeting with Overseer Gripes, life has continued to get worse and worse. You work on Mr. Waterford’s sugar plantation all day, six days a week, under the blazing hot sun. More servants get sick each week, and seven of the 35 who arrived with you have already died from yellow fever—“Barbados fever” is what they call it here. You have felt ill for two days now, but you’re afraid to tell anyone. Servants who say they are sick are only whipped and told to get out to the field and work.
