Then I saw the gleam of metal prison bars on level six.

Clementine started loosening his towel, taking it off, rolling it around his neck like a scarf. He was grinning wide this time. Grinning and pulling me after him.

“You don’t need a room for this action, baby. It’s all out in the open.”

“You mean caged in.”

“That’s just a figure of speech. You can do anything you want here. With one person, two, or several. I don’t know about you, Jesse, but I’m getting me some action.” He disappeared into the darkness. I looked around but I couldn’t really contain all I saw. Instead of private rooms with numbered doors protecting the sounds and action inside, these were open spaces bordered by aluminum bars extending floor to ceiling. People lay everywhere, on bunk beds or single twin-sized mattresses covered with dark vinyl, no sheets. And every 4 x 8 space was measured out by the flat metal bars and the people in them waiting for pleasure or punishment. Men filed in and out of the cells. Some remained coupled or in threes for just as long as it took to imagine you were a prisoner and they were the guards or fellow inmates, coming to take their pleasure or revenge on your youth or safety. It didn’t matter if you were lubricated or not. Or if you really wanted it that way. They took pleasure in your pain and confinement and you lay there, ass open and crying for more, more, and more.

“But you want pain,” a voice inside me said. “Don’t you? Why then did you come here? It’s not because of Metro anymore. He’s dead.”
