kyle

i sit on my cot in my dark cell listening to the quiet whispers of other kids in cells around me. im the oldest. most kids are crying. i go over my escape plan in my head eyeing each objective and watching the time. my cell opens. i look up as your shoved in. my eyes widen. i had never had a cell mate before. this changes everything. you look scared and hurt. "easy now." i say quietly as the cell is relocked.
