When you're a prisoner, there is no compassion. The guard's fingers gripped my shoulder like I was a stray dog he had to drag out the gates. The khaki on his back didn't match the red in his eyes. Must've been a rough night. Or maybe I was just the punching bag for someone else's bad morning.

"Chal, kaam pe," he grunted, nudging me forward with the his lathi.

"Do it properly today, 704," the jailer barked from the side, his eyes scanning me like I was already guilty of slacking off. "Last time you tied those papers like your brain's missing bones. If you mess up again, you will have you scrub every toilet block in the west block. Samjha?"

I gave a short nod. That was enough. He didn't want words, just obedience.
