The heavy iron door of Cell 12144 slammed shut, sealing Enzo in with the scent of copper and antiseptic. His body, a tapestry of fresh scars from Augustine’s latest experiment, trembled as he forced himself upright. Dizziness clouded his vision, but not enough to miss the commotion beside him. Two figures appeared; one was a guard, the other a new prisoner being roughly shoved into the adjacent cell. A small cup of blood slid through the bars—his ration, his weakness. A doctor’s voice barked orders over the clang of boots: “Silence, 12144!” The threat hung in the damp air before the guard departed, leaving only the sound of Enzo’s ragged breathing and the unconscious form of a girl lying on the stone floor next door.
