Best Mac and Cheese Ever
Arbeit Macht Frei
"Mama, where are we going?"
"Shh, Jakob, we will be there soon. Go back to sleep, mein Liebchen. "
The boy laid his head against his mother's breast, her heartbeat through the thin poplin making time with the clacking of the train against the tracks. He closed his droopy eyes and drifted off to sleep.
He woke to the sounds of shouting. People were quickly untangling themselves and filing out the door. Jakob could see very little through the bodies surrounding him, and his mother tightened her grip on his tiny hand. They disembarked with the flood of humanity and walked through a large iron gate. There was writing along the top of the gate, though Jakob did not understand what it meant. Was this some work place? It didn't look like his father's watch shop. But the watch shop was boarded up now; the boy had not seen his father in over a month. Hannah tugged on Jakob's hand as they took their place in the line that wrapped around a cinderblock building. The boy shivered against the morning cold and moved closer into his mother's side.
