I remember my first day as an eye. I wasn't quite sure what to do. The people who are in charge of the eyes, I'm not sure who they are, just send me random mail instructing me what to do. Then I just analyze what I have found and just stick the analysis sheet in my mailbox and by the end of the day it's gone.
So as my first task, I was supposed go down to the market center as a handmaid and check up on this one girl, Offred. I haven't really been around handmaids before. I heard that they were hated by the marthas, either that or the marthas are just jealous. I have no idea what they are like.
I don't know how people are picked to be spied on, if it's just random or if it's significant somehow, but anyways I step into the market called Milk and Honey. And it's packed. Every nook and cranny is filled with handmaids and market workers. I try to make my way to the front where I spot this very pregnant woman standing with this thin, little sickly looking econowife. I make my way into a line where Offred is just one person infront of me. She's gazing at the glowing pregnant woman. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. After waiting in line for a while, I get some groceries and push and shove my way out of the store. As I turn the corner I spot Offred and her partner starring at the wall and the hanging bodies. What could be going through their minds??
