And then night came. The smell in the room was unbearable. Occasionally, a ripple of hot wind blew in from the south, a nauseous wave swelling the stench into the very depths of Summerfield’s guts so that he gagged. His fellow inmates stared at him in disgust and resentment—it was his fault they hadn’t eaten—until they finally turned their backs on him and huddled down to sleep on the straw. Summerfield lay awake in the dark for a long time. His last thoughts were a question that kept nagging at him over and over—would Badr rescue him from the nightmare as he had done for Abrach? There came no answer.

5 a.m. prayer woke him up, an awful collective droning from the cells, far removed from the hypnotic, snaking chant from the city minarets. And then the door opening. A corporal was there, holding a bucket of water. Which he instantly threw over the supine Summerfield.

‘You pong,’ said the corporal, masking his nose.

‘And you fuck off,’ said Summerfield, weakly.

The corporal tutted melodramatically—he must have seen it done in a film—and shook his head. ‘No breakfast for you, I’m afraid. Manners is important.’
