10.5 Mysterious Singing

After everyone had finished registering their data, changed their clothes, had their photos taken and original cuffs unlocked, a warden clad in dark uniform came out from the metal elevator to welcome them. 'Welcome' was not a suitable word to describe his demeanor. It was more like he was herding a flock of sheep into the cage. 

"Get in line and enter one by one!" He ordered in a booming voice. "The others are having lunch, but you need to get into your cell now. Hurry up before you bump into them!"

A dissatisfied protest sounded from one of the prisoners, "Then what about our lunch? They can eat but we can't?" 

No sooner than his voice landed, a loud crackle suddenly sounded followed by the man's ear-piercing scream. Everyone was dumbfounded to see the originally healthy as an ox man suddenly collapsed on the ground twitching like a fish thrown out of the water. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and white froth formed on the corner of his mouth.
