Even though some people are telling me that justice is impossible in this country, I didn't listen to them because I do believe that I can get that in my own. I continue to believe on the beauty of my life goals. There is nothing impossible in this world, and no one can pull you down on the ladder if you are doing things with purpose. Especially if you put God in the center of everything. I looked at myself in front of the full length mirror and managed my white collar.

“You put your head down and you survive it. But you need to take care of yourself too. You can’t keep running on empty.” “I know.” “Do you?” She pauses. “Why do you care so much, Cass? About this guy specifically. I’ve seen you work with difficult patients before and you don’t let them get to you like this. So what makes him different?” I open my mouth to answer. Then close it. Because how do I tell her the truth? That, every time I look at him, I see what my family destroyed. That this isn’t a job—it’s penance, and no matter how cruel he is or how hard this gets, I deserve every second of it?

She was very accommodating and smiling too and she never made me feel as if there was something wrong with me. After the check up, I got so lightheaded and really sleepy and I guess it came from the injection that the nurse gave me. When I woke up, I was already in my cell. I was admitted wearing the patient’s white gown on me and a band around my wrist. I was wearing a pair of white bottoms which was very comforting but the bed wasn’t. It wasn’t the nicest of all beds and it was only about four inches thick. The room was bland. There were no windows, no TV, no picture frames on the white wall but just the bed and the small sitting area where I see a few books. I rushed to it and found a not

“That’s how this started. With a kid hiding in a closet watching his parents die.” She walked over to him. Stood close. “I’m sorry that happened to you,” she said. “Don’t be. It made me what I am.” “That doesn’t mean you had to become this.” “Yes it did.” He looked at her. “Because mercy gets you killed. Kindness makes you weak. I learned that at twelve years old and nothing since has proved me wrong.” “I have.” He frowned. “What?” “I’ve shown you kindness. And I’m still alive.” She held his gaze. “Mercy hasn’t made you weaker. It’s made you more human.”

"I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain." A slow smile spread across Ghost's face, the blue light momentarily illuminating a glint of admiration in his eyes. A flicker of a plan seemed to spark in his gaze. Anya, a new recruit in the fight for freedom, knew this was just the beginning.

In reality, he hadn't done anything wrong. I just wanted to escape that world.

Meredith’s POV I used to read books about people who would be sentenced to life imprisonment. I see how they are treated like animals and tortured for days without any food or water.
