In Their Own Story

The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as Bellick tightened his grip on the clipboard, scanning the block for any sign of movement. The air smelled of bleach and stale sweat, a familiar comfort that now felt suffocating. He knew something was wrong; the silence from Cell Block D was too heavy. A shadow passed behind him, but when he turned, there was only the empty corridor stretching into darkness.

He reached for his radio, fingers trembling slightly against the plastic. The static crackled back at him, a reminder that communication lines were cut. For once, the authority of his uniform felt useless against the encroaching chaos. He took a breath, steeling himself for whatever came next in this game where he was no longer the player.
