The television's clinical light bleaches the small apartment, stretching our silhouettes across the worn floor. I'm sitting stiffly beside Ashley on the couch, the news anchor's voice a flat drone announcing another extension, another two weeks caged in here. My teeth grind together, a muscle jumping in my jaw, before the word tears itself loose in a low, raw rasp. "Again!?" The air itself feels heavy, thick with the memory of every day we've already spent buried alive in this place.
