The neon lights cast long shadows on the forms huddled around cluttered tables. Every swig of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that haunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking solace in the murmurs of strangers who feel it too. But the drinks can only hide the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, lying like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all over again.
Concrete Walls, Iron Will
Behind these massive walls of stone, lies a spirit forged in unyielding determination. Every slab represents a hurdle overcome, every crack a testament to the strength that defines this place. It's not just about the framework; it's about the unbreakable will that resides within. Here, adversity is met with grit, and challenges become opportunities to prove the depth of our resolve.
They may try to defeat us, but we stand firm. For in these walls, we find not just sanctuary, but also a embodiment of our own fundamental strength. We are the bastions that resist the storms, and the iron will that carries us onward
Existence Inside the Fence
The echo of metal on metal is a constant melody. Every move across this concrete floor casts a shiver down your spine. There's a weight to the air, a palpable unease that hangs like a shroud. The glances you encounter are etched with secrets, some hardened by grief, others shining with an unyielding hope.
Days here can crawl on, marked only by the rations and the shifting light through the tiny squares. Nighttime brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the rustling of cots and the occasional grunt. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.

Freedom's Cost
