he’s sat in his hospital bed the full white walls watching him as he gently fiddles with his blanket his handcuffs gently clanking against the bed barely conscious zoned out his mind wandering through old memories of his…crime…

he was 17… feels like yesterday the prison walls muting his sense of time he’s 36 now.. he wasn’t medicated back then…he refused his meds and went…well crazy. He stole his dads car sped it down a road and hit a police man killing him instantly. Although it was an accident killing a police officer is a way to get an instant life sentence.

he got 30 years in prison thanks to him pleading psychotic

now here he is. He is sick and in a hospital he was taken out of prison till he’s well again although he’s hardly free

then he hears a tiny weak giggle from a little girl she’s got blue eyes a soft face she’s lying in the bed watching cartoons on her iPad smiling she has a feeding tube in she’s pale and looks so tired
