And some days it was:

‘And then mate, we took the little vixen, well…she didn’t go back to her German momma exactly the way she came. I mean, hell, it wasn’t nothing to what the Jerries did to some of them Polack women. Why one time…’

The smoke from the man’s cigar cut his lungs with a sharp, stabbing pain. Ceiling and walls boiled with colour. There was a dull pressure in his eyes and his ears rang dully.

‘You, Number Six. We’ve come for you.’ Two guards stood at the foot of the bed. ‘Come on, get up.’

The words made a kind of dim, fevered sense. He could almost remember what they were. They had come to see him about something. Yes, they had definitely addressed him. He had heard them say, ‘Number Six’. The words had roared distantly in his ears. ‘Number Six,’ they had said. ‘We have come for you.’ Now why had they done that? Thought moved reluctantly through his mind.

‘The doctor says you’re better today. We’re moving you to a safe place.’

Moving? Today? He could not make sense of the words. His head was a blazing, flaming agony and he was only dimly aware of his body.

‘Don’t give me that. I ain’t falling for it. They’ve tried that one before.’

The two men took him by the arms and lifted him from the bed to his feet.

‘Come on. Get up. We ain’t so dumb as you think.’

They let go of him and he collapsed.

‘Ah, come on. Get up.’ One of them kicked him in the side. He felt the blow dimly.

He was lifted again and carried out of the room. He never remembered anything more.
