The beds were as hard as a rock, maybe even harder. He slept with one eye open just in case. he would stare at the ground in fear of making eye contact with another inmate. His inmate number is 142684. He feels completely alone and thinks a lot about how he got myself where there. Every minute he spends in his cell, he prays. Prays for his family and their forgiveness. Most of the time he sits alone on the picnic tables, watching the other inmates play basketball. Every day he carves a tally mark into the wood. Today he put the 105th tally. He took up the habit of biting his nails, sometimes they bleed but it gives him a sense of calmness. Food is served 3 times a day but he is lucky to eat once. Sometimes he goes days without eating because his food is snatched away as soon as he receives it. He would kill for a big mac…literally.
This might work. Depends. Who are you writing about?
ReplyDeleteno one in particular. ?
ReplyDeleteI like it, I really do, but unless you have a relative in prison and are imagining his life, it's fiction and it's not for ENG 162.
ReplyDeleteokay, I'll try and come up with something else. So pretty much i should pick someone in my life and write about a situation of theirs?
