1 The End of life or the beginning

I awoke to a cold stone floor embracig me, a lighter scratching and a faint light hinting caution.

My name is Zachary Desmond, people either call me Zach or Dez for short. I'm currently in Alcatraz for a crime I din't commit, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, I'm twenty one and in jail, never thought it'd happen to me.

I was studying human psychology and then the next day I'm in prison, because the mass shooter looked identical to me with outfit, figure even hair! The surveillance cameras didn't do me any good and now I have life without parole.

Now I'm in my jail cell, on the cold stone floor and the warden lighing a cigar, I was going to fall asleep when all of a sudden a tremor happened and caused the whole building to shake, the gaurd didn't even notice it, he didn't even seem fazed. I continued to fade away into drowziness, the next thing I knew it was morning.

I awoke to the sound of the usual bell, signalling for us to continue to the roll check. As if being mind controlled eveyone stepped out of their jail cells simultaineously, we all proceeded with roll check and were led to the showers.

Even though I was in here for two and a half years, I wasn't used to showering in public, the joke don't drop the soap went to a whole new level. We continued our day like normal, some men being defiled, some being shanked, and then finally peace in my own bedroom or well jail cell.

I was doing what I always did, lying on the cold floor and the warden lighting his cigar until I saw a faint red light, Alcatraz is said to be haunted but really? An odd red light coming out of the sink's pipe. I was intrigued so I'll attempt to get into the sewage system, it's a pretty private place and it's where all the gold of Alcatraz is kept for all inmates, you could find alot of people using the gold.

As the morning came, I awoke as usual and gathered my fees for using the sewage system, when in the showers I had met up with Phil and he asked me "You brought the fee?" "Yeah, right here." I replied as I grabbed the ramen packet from the vent and passed it to him, "Right this way Dez." He said to me leading me past a man being defiled and moving a brick casing revealing a hole into the sewage pipes, both of us bare he nudged me to continue. Walking through the sewage pipes I saw men reading the magazines, otherwise known as the gold of Alcatraz, instead of stopping to enjoy I continued to walk to below my jail cell. When I was directly beneath my jail cell, J2, I saw a hole with the faint red light I saw yesterday, I peeked over the rim and suddenly I felt a small force as if pushing me in, or yet dragging me in, I staggered backwards when suddenly I slipped with my bare feet and with nothing on, I fell into the hole, I was unaware of what awaited me below and I didn't want to know, I accepted my fate and as if as fast as lightning, I blacked out.
