But, Shukhov remembered, this wasn’t just the same old daily visit to the PPS clerks. Today was the big day for them. They’d heard a lot of talk of switching their gang — 104 — from putting up work- shops to a new job building a new “Socialist Community Development.” But so far it was nothing more than bare fields covered with snowdrifts, and before anything could be done there, holes had to be dug, posts put in, and barbed wire put up — by the prisoners for the prisoners, so they couldn’t get out. And then they could start building.

You could bet your life that for a month there’d be no place where you could get warm— not even a hole in the ground. And you couldn’t make a fire — what could you use for fuel ? So your only hope was to work like hell.

The gang boss was worried and was going to try to fix things, try to palm the job off on some other gang, one that was a little slower on the uptake. Of course you couldn’t go empty-handed. It would take a pound of fatback for the chief clerk. Or even two.

Maybe Shukhov would try to get himself on the sick list so he could have a day off. There was no harm in trying. His whole body was one big ache.

Then he wondered — which warder was on duty today ?
