This cell was like all the ones he’d occupied before, except there were no bars, just an electronically locked door with a slot big enough to accept a tray. There was also a sink and a concrete slab bed. It took a while to figure out where the toilet was, then he saw the hole in the floor.

The bed looked good. Craftily, he calculated how long it would take to crawl to the plywood mattress. His mind had slowed, so the calculation took a long time, but the crawling took longer still.

He also had trouble retrieving words. Sega … ciga … until the words segregation and disassociation came to mind. New names, old places. Also known as Solitary or the Hole. At first he startled at the slightest noise, then his eyes rolled back into his head, not caring anymore.
