As Mathew walked between the two escorting soldiers, he felt the eyes of fellow prisoners follow his trek across the compound, their heads staying downcast so not to be caught. In their thin coats and ragged boots, they carried rocks and stacked them in a field adjacent to the Commandant’s office.

At least the day was warmer, even with the grey wispy clouds that floated across the sky, fracturing the sunlight in bent rays. Patches of snow littered the walkway, slowly transforming into slush. A constant drip sounded as drops of water fell from the gutters to the ground below.

A line of soldiers stood watch over the slave labor, rifles cradled in the crooks of their arms. Next to them, shadowed within the overhang of the building of death—the vent clear of smoke for the time being—stood the sergeant-at-arms. Mathew wasn’t a hundred percent sure, but his skin crawled as if the steely blue eyes of the sergeant raked over him. He faltered, which earned him a poke with a muzzle.

“Get going,” said the soldier.

Tearing his gaze away from the shadowy figure of the sergeant, Mathew’s eyes settled on the thick stone barricade that separated the females from the males. Behind the wall, he could hear a female yelling orders to her wards. The voice held a hard, authoritative edge.

Mathew wondered if his plan would work. If he’d be able to save any of them. His gaze shifted away.

The building housing the Commandant’s office loomed at the end of the pathway, and Mathew was on his way to become a traitor.
