Jurgen was chosen at a young age to join the special works unit. This was considered an extreme honor. Only the strongest, most durable children were selected. His parents received a large stipend as a reward, and his primary school held a celebratory send-off in his honor.
Jurgen waited for the day of his departure with a mixture of excitement and dread. On the one hand, as a future member of the special works unit he was already receiving special privileges.
On the other hand, the reality was he would spend the rest of his life as a menial laborer.
