"The link" a story by Dammey

As Early as 3:00a.m of a cold
wednesday, Alex woke up with a
jolt, he had been dreaming. His
eyes went on a tour around the
room he was , The 12feet brown
painted square room which has
no window the only form of
ventilation comes from the iron
gates that reminded him that he
was in the police cell and not his
room. He scratched the spot that
a generation of mosquitoes just
feasted upon on his back, he try
to strech his legs, but the
obstruction only reminded him
of the condition and mode of
sleeping in this cage-like cell. 3
on a roll. Luckily for him, he is
sleeping post was close to one of
the four edges of the room, so
he sat up and rested on the wall,
he looked around, his brain
made a mental count of his
neighbours and he counted 12
criminals or alleged criminals, he
looked at his nearest neighbour,
he was dark complexion man
with long beards that would
make u mistake him 4 osama bin
laden, he was bare chested. He
suddenly remember that the day
after tomorrow is the date of his
trial. He decides to try if sleep can
come and take him away.
