430 Sketch

Ruth woke up early in the morning, had her breakfast, and went back to her room. She refused to see any visitors, especially her husband and daughter. Leaning her head on the wall, Ruth closed her eyes, thinking of her friend. ''Are you alive? I wish to see you once, William.'' She knows this is her end. Never will she be able to step out of this prison. She wondered why Devin and Francis chose to hide her identity. Had they exposed her, it would be nothing but a death sentence. Why didn't they expose?

In between her thoughts, the prison officer rapped the iron bars creating a rythm with his staff. ''A visitor for you.''

''Tell them I am not interested,'' Coarsely, Ruth told him. She is tired of hearing her husband's emotional drama and her daughter's cries.

''It's not your husband and daughter this time.'' The officer curtly added. ''Come on. I will drag you by force even If I have to.''
