Hi friends, today's prompt reminds me of childhood, where the good stuff is for the elderly folks while the residue is for the younger ones. It is a fixed negotiation, no backing out. Plus, at least you get to collect the residue which is better than nothing at all. This is an oppressive act but who would speak up. A Residue is always thought of as the worse part but sometimes it can be the best part, I have experienced it so many times. Don't be discouraged about your situation, light is coming to your tunnel soon.
