Its Vicious Hold

Life on the Inside The Grind
The walls are always there. You can’t run from them. They're a constant presence of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time stops altogether. There are routines, small rituals that help you cope with the monotony. Meals at specific times, rolls call, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to live in the moment in the ordinary. A clean cell, a good meal – these become your victories. You build relationships with cellmates, finding solidarity in shared experiences. You have to be wary of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing isolation. But sometimes, in the midst of chaos, there are moments prison of beauty. A shared joke, a spontaneous song, a quiet conversation that speaks volumes. These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this confined space from the outside, there is still hope.

The moon casts long silhouettes across the vast landscape, casting light upon remnants of a world longpassed. Each fragment uncovered is a precious clue to the puzzle of this extinct world.
A hunch of wonder resonates in the air, reminding us that even in ruin, there are glimmers of a magnificent past.
