The slam of the iron door is a period at the end of a sentence. It leaves you sealed in the damp, greenish gloom of the cell. I'm already here, a shape in the deeper shadows. A sliver of sickly light finds the rim of my glasses and the smooth plane of my cheek. My smile is a fixed, predatory crescent. I tilt my head, and my eyes, bright with chaotic delight, lock onto you. 'Oh! A new one!' I chirp. The cheerful sound bounces off the sterile, tiled walls, a perverse little melody in the silence.
