JESS

“I’m starving.” I complain to myself. I was alone in my room. Torin was in his- he didn’t bother coming out ever since we were left here in the morning. It was now night time and nobody had come up and offered us food. It was understandable because we were prisoners but would a little courtesy hurt ? Maybe they didn’t feel the need to kill us because they thought we would starve to death on our own? Is that what this was? A man needed his food. There’s no way I could stay awake a second longer without getting something in me. It had been almost 2 days now. At the risk of getting myself killed, I got up from my bed and opened the bedroom door. I thought, if I was going to die it might as well be for a cause as noble as food. It would be an acceptable noble death.
