The chirping of birds engulfed the warm evening washing the scorching heat of the day. The orange glow flooded the blue sky pronouncing the farewell of a setting sun. Its last ray fell on the high walls of the juvenile before mingling in the mountains beyond the thick forest.
A 16-year-old Vikram stared at last beam of day and sighed when his eyes failed to look ahead of the 15 ft concrete walls. He chose a corner to settle down and marched towards a wooden bench. Thankfully there was a lamppost above the said furniture that will grant him the luxury of reading even at night. The warden doesn’t allow any child to play around after 9 and shuts all the lights except for these lampposts, he doesn’t have another choice but to sit here until exhaustion takes over him and finally retires to bed.
