The noise dies down, the voices fade, and what’s left is you… and everything you’ve ever tried not to think about. I was sitting on the lower bunk in a three-man cell, elbows on my knees, staring at nothing in particular, when a strange thought crossed my mind. I had just read something light, almost silly—a post about some od
