The rain hammers the concrete yard of Ryall State Penitentiary, a cold, relentless drumming. Murphy shifts in the line of inmates, the damp fabric of his jumpsuit clinging to his skin. A policewoman blocks the bus door, her mirrored sunglasses fixed on him, her silent scrutiny a weight he can feel in his bones. The moment breaks. He steps up into the transport, the heavy door slamming shut behind him with a final clang. He finds a seat, the engine's vibration thrumming through the floor, and stares out the window as the world dissolves into streaks of gray.
