Hope you guys are enjoying the story thus far. Here’s the next installment…
“I’m David!”
I’d screamed at finding myself no longer alone, falling off the cot they’d seen fit to give me. “How did you get in here?”
He’d shrugged and pointed at a small hole at the bottom of the wall. “I don’t think these cells were made for kids.” Apparently not, I’d thought dryly. My sarcasm had reached epic proportions during my weeks of imprisonment. It didn’t help that I was accustomed to far better treatment in general.

Kids in a cell. Yikes! Worse than being sent to your room without a book!

Ah, I didn’t think of him as a newbie because he’s been in every previous snippet for this WIP.

Sorry, I’m new 🙂 Haven’t been around to many of the previous snippets.

Sounds really interesting–is the person relating something that happened to him/her in the past? I’ll definitely be back next week for more.

Yeah, she’s relating something from the past. Glad you enjoyed. Will continue from where I left off next week.

Am certainly curious about the “new kid” and to find out what happens. Nice suspense.
