In Their Own Story
Rain lashed against the concrete barrier of Fox River State Penitentiary. L.J. pulled his collar up, eyes fixed on the steel gates that had swallowed his father. He clutched a crumpled letter in his pocket, knowing Michael was inside somewhere, watching him through the bars. The weight of the secret sat heavy on his chest; he wasn't just waiting for a visitation slot anymore. He was guarding a bridge between two worlds, one where men were innocent and another where they were trapped by design.
