The cold night breeze washes past my face, as warm salty tears roll down my cheeks. I have been here for months now, my  cell is unbearable and isolated. At dawn I wake up at the sound of the morning bell, and at dusk I let tears fall onto my pillow until my eyes finally shut. I miss my family.  I wish I could go back to them but this cell is impenetrable, and I know that they never take me back. My cell floor is as cold as ice and my rough shawl doesn't help on cold winter nights.

  1. This is good writing Pavitra. I love the way you have told what a day is like by talking just about the beginning and end... "At dawn I wake up at the sound of the morning bell, and at dusk I let tears fall onto my pillow until my eyes finally shut." Well done.
