Feeling of Emptiness

A sharp twitch woke me up, I could see the the day had dawned. Light was seeping through the seemingly endless cloud that was stretching all the way. Actually, I have never seen the clouds going away. They just seem to last forever.
Is this the way it is supposed to be? I don't know. I pressed the stop button on my thoughts and got to work, we lived in a world where work goes on for 18 hours and rest is irregular.
I have to get to work as soon as I stir and food and refreshments keep coming along the way when I need them, thankfully. I'm repeatedly taught that not all planets have such friendly workplace.
I often hear nasty stories of torture and suffocation. A friend once told me that he used to live in another planet where he used to get food that was poisoned and most of the workers just started dying slowly. He was moved here when the planet was on the verge of killing itself.
He has thanking his gods ever since he moved here. I thought work was gruelling here and here he was making me uneasy with his scary stories.
Hmm.. getting back to work, it is nothing much to speak of, the factory where i worked had the job of making some chemicals. I dont know where it goes or how it is used.
I have asked, believe me. No one tells me anything here. I get answers like
'Do what you are told and you dont need to know more' said my boss.
'It does not help knowing, believe me' said one good fellow
'What are you going to do by knowing?' asked another.
Its a sin to be inquisitive here. Hmmph.. cant say much.
"Tweet Tweet", I was interrupted by a messenger who delivered the message and vanished even before i could say 'Thanks'.
I opened and read the message.
"Hey! Liver! Get to work or I'm cutting of your power supply... signed brain"
"Aye aye sir.. more bile coming up"
