As it grows dark in the large room and the sun sets I tell the little girl about myself. "I'm Grace Olivia Fernandez, and am in here because I supposedly shot my father. My father was a dirty criminal. He was always threatening my mother, attacking me." I say, showing her one of my scars on my arms, "Both my mother and I had had enough of him. They got in a fight, and he attacked her... She grabbed his gun, and shot him." i continue, "she ran from the house and left me. By the time the police had arrived, my dad was dead and my mum long gone. I was sentenced to only a month, so I guess we get out together" I slump on the edge of the cage. "What about your mum? Where is she now?" asked Madeline, and I shrug.

"Who knows... She could be on the other time of the country..." she says. I stand up straight and go to the door of the cage, "shh, food mans here!" i whisper to her. She also moves to the door of her cage, waiting for the man with the food trolley to come by. He walks past me first, passing me a plate with porridge on it. I sit down, and mumble my grace. After a few minutes he walks past Grace, handing her a plate with porridge as well. She says her grace, and we eat together. After dinner, once pitch black, we lay on the small ledges and slowly fall asleep, waiting for the day where we can be free, where we can go do whatever.
