Prison

I went to visit my friend in prison today. It was very grim there and his personality has changed somewhat in the few weeks he has been there. He is in a minimum security facility, but even that is awful. I can't help thinking of a rabid dog in a cage waiting to die. They remove your soul there and replace it with something I do not recognize.

I was happy to have seen him but now in the wee hours I am sad. I feel lost and cut off from everything good after having seen the reality of it. I am so sad that I am unable to sleep without nightmares, so I think I will not sleep tonight. Fatique will force me to sleep tomorrow night and that is soon enough.
