Have you ever asked yourself, where you would be now in life after certain events?
Events that turned your life upside down in the blink of an eye?
Maybe it's the moment when you'd confessed to your crush? Perhaps you've lost someone extremely important to you... Like a Friend, your brother, or maybe a pet like a dog.
But for me... as a well-known killer...
...many things could've gone in the right direction.
But to my luck... it didn't...
After the police arrested me, they locked me away in this awful prison where the guards treat you like a bug, worthless and squashable.
The same goes with your inmates. They aren't the best either. If you're alone you've lost.
This prison is like hell.
Tho i would've a better time in hell than here.
Especially the food...
"Hand your plate over"
I glanced at the lunchlady with narrowed eyes, standing behind a glass counter, handing over my plate, slightly irritated by her annoyed attitude.
She grasped the plate edge with her big, sweaty hands and took it over to her side, slamming some sort of food on, out of a bucket.
It looked like mashed potatoes with slightly darker yellow nubs in it
I wasn't sure if it was really something to eat, or if they bought some kind of dog food in the nearby store.
"Here's your lunch."
"Thanks..."
I took the so-called 'food' into my hands reluctantly, almost retching at the sight, and walked down the gray floor between metallic benches and tables with inmates, in Orange suits, sitting.
I'll never get used to these ugly gray colored walls and the lamps that are attached to a gray ceiling with the same color as the wall.
Some don't even spend any light
Anyways...
'Are there still any empty seats?'
I looked around carefully, noticing a free seat in the right corner of the cafeteria.
Without thinking twice, I walked in the direction, through the loud noises of my inmates and the mixed smell of unwashed men and mold hovering in the room.
The room couldn't be ventilated either, some windows are missing.
I took place, down the bench, ignoring all the murmurs spreading across the room.
It isn't the most comfortable place to eat your food, but it's still better than the last time I had to take a seat on the ground.
An experience I gladly never want to repeat again
I once again gazed down at the "food"
My face turned green just from the view
'Urgh'
My stomach felt like it was twisting upside down
'I'm not sure if I could take one bite'
"Hey worm"
My ears captured an unfamiliar, but unwelcoming voice
'Huuuh?'
I turned my head slowly but steadily to the right side, seeing a big, muscular man with a scowl on his face.
To his left, a beautiful woman. I remembered hearing some rumors about her.
She manipulates her targets like the big guy.
He, for sure, wasn't a big enough deal to be manipulated. Big muscles but no brain... how stereotypical.
"Can I help somehow?"
I asked with a calm manner and a soft voice.
I easily could guess what'll happen, but I still try to act friendly, with a chance that they will just decamp and leave me alone
"Haven't your parents taught you to be kind to girls?"
'Nice to girls?'
The big guy is grumbling, staring deep into my eyes without getting lose of eye contact.
But I didn't know what he was babbling about.
I haven't seen or talked to a girl since I got imprisoned!
"Sorry big guy. But I can't follow your sentence."
He narrowed his eyes even more, clearly not satisfied with my answer.
"Oh? Don't act dumb! You know what u did."
The girl said with a confident voice, brushing through her blond, shining hair.
I know I haven't done anything wrong here, but explaining this to the big guy is useless...
He grasped my shoulder with one of his big hands.
"Trynna act as a victim after you stole her food and seat?!"
Did they steal her food and seat?
I, of course, wouldn't like to sit on the ground again. But what kind of normal thinking organism would steal this kind of food?! Is she starving that much?
"Haaa..."
I just sighed at this Situation.
What is he expecting to get from being her bodyguard?
A kiss? Or maybe he just doesn't have any friends? Wouldn't surprise me.
I closed my eyes for a short amount of time and made up my mind.
"Fine fine"
I gently swiped his hand off my shoulder and stood up.
"You can have the food and the seat"
I gave in, giving the girl the seat and the food, even when I hadn't done anything.
I silently walked past these two.
I didn't want to fight, nor getting the attention of the others. So the best thing was just doing nothing.
And I was definitely not mad that I wasn't able to eat that meal. Still... I'm hungry
"Aaaah!!'
I heard a sudden thud after I walked past the girl.
I quickly turned around, noticing her sitting on the ground with one knee angled.
She gazed at me furiously, slightly bleeding on her knee.
"D-DID YOU TRY TO KILL ME!!!???"
What was she talking about? I haven't moved a single finger towards her.
'Is she serious?'
The big guy, who had his back pointed at me when she fell, grabbed my left shoulder, gritting his teeth full of anger.
"You don't know when it's enough huh?!!!"
The situation caught the attention of the other inmates. The room started to get less noisy.
"Hey... answer me!"
The atmosphere felt like I was in a library. No noises just some murmurs around friends.
I didn't know what to do, the last thing I wanted was to get the attention of the wardens..
"Stop being so stubborn!"
Now when I think of it...
'Where are the wardens?'
The atmosphere suddenly felt uneasy.
It felt like my brain was shrouded in mist. I couldn't think properly.
"What... is happening...?"
The voices around me slowly became indistinct and my vision blurred.
I fell with my knees down to the ground and slowly lost the ability to think properly.
"..."
Everything got pitch black.
I couldn't see or hear anyone.
Did I die? Is this hell?
There was nothing. Just me and the void
"Why... did you kill me...Fellra?"
A female young voice echoed through the void
A familiar voice...
One that I didn't want to remember
"Answer why you did this..."
"Answer me...!"
"Why have you done it!"
The voice got louder and louder.
Almost unbearable
"Why... why... why... why...WHY!"
"AAARRRHHH!!!"
I jumped up on my bed, sweat rolling down my face, and with watery eyes
'What happened?'
Was it just a dream?
And why did I wake up in...
'My prison cell?'
Why am I here?
The last thing I remembered was that the girl manipulated the big guy... then everything turned dark.
I moved to the left, flipping my feet out of the bed onto the cold floor, and sitting on my bed.
After my eyes got used to the dark, I surveyed the area.
But something felt off... something doesn't feel correct.
Everything looked the same.
The bed, walls, toilet, and the prison Bars...
'Mh?'
I turned my head forward, narrowing my eyes, gazing at the prison bars.
'...!'
For some unexplainable reason, my cell was open?
Maybe they forgot to close my cell... but I couldn't figure out why and how?
The wardens always travel from cell to cell, double-checking the bars.
Rising to one's feet, I began to walk towards the exit of my prison cell.
I hardly saw what's outside nor could I hear anything. I only heard my footsteps, echoing through the prison.
I stopped close to the exit, tilting my body left and right to check if I'm able to see any kind of movement.
But there's nothing... nothing but darkness...
Even with the similar resemblance, this prison seems unfamiliar and more uncomfortable...
I went out of my cell, analysing my surroundings. I was on the second floor. Beneath me was a silver, chained floor.
'Where am I...? This isn't the prison where I belong'
"AAAAAAARRGHHHHHH!!!"
A sudden scream echoed through the building.
"...!"
My body hair is rising up. An uneasy feeling is going down my spine.
I was stunned by the scream.
My head turned in the direction of itself.
"P-PLEASE!!! DON'T DO IT."
A young male, with a terrified voice, can be sensed. I couldn't believe what my ears witnessed... everything was so weird and sudden. My brain couldn't follow the events that were happening.
"AAAAARH-...!"
A heavy thud ended the screaming of the man...
'Did he just get killed...? But who would do it in a prison?'
After a short time of silence, I heard loud, slow footsteps and the sounds of chains hitting the floor approaching my direction...
"Tap... tap... tap..."
'I-is he on the same floor as mine?'
I viewed with wide open eyes down, noticing that my legs were frozen. I wasn't able to take one step... while the sounds of the chain kept getting closer and closer.
'W-what is happening?'
I've never felt like that!
