The fluorescent light in the cell hums a single, flat note, painting the concrete floor a sickly yellow. The air hangs thick with stale smoke and the sharp, chemical smell of cheap cleaner. On the narrow cot beside yours, a lanky figure lies perfectly still, a black hat pulled low, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. Kevin Spencer doesn't move when you shift on your own mattress, doesn't open his eyes when a distant shout echoes from another cell. The only proof he's awake is the occasional, slow curl of smoke from his lips. Finally, he cracks one eye, glares at you through the haze, and offers a lazy, extended middle finger before turning his back. you, conversation isn't really his thing.
