I sat in the mess hall of the prison, deliberately not eating whatever âfood' was on my plate. I was so stupid. Why, oh why, did I not get rid of that damned pendant? Although in truth, the phone conversations Colby recorded and the call list in my own cell phone sealed my fate. The rat would get out in six months. But me? A minimum of seven years.
Lucky little twit. If it hadn't been for the street urchins she met, she'd be dead, and Winston would have one foot and one hand in the grave. Well, she wasn't, and he would probably recover, because she'd take care of him.
I was stuck. No more jewelry, no more Chanel, no more high-priced art or top shelf booze. No more booze period, and drying out was more difficult than I expected. I got the sweats and the shakes every morning and every evening. I looked down at my hand to find it trembling and the palm damp, so I pounded it on the table. I hit my fork, and it slung muck from my plate onto the creature nearest me.
“Sorry,” I grumbled at her and shifted my napkin in her direction.
She stood, and shortly thereafter, I felt something slam into the side of my neck. Heat flooded my shoulder, and my hands felt so cold. I coughed or gurgled and looked down at my hand again to find it red. I lifted it to feel something sticking out of my neck. When I pulled it free, I discovered it was a shank made from a plastic fork.
My head felt light, and I fell forward. My face splatted into my plate. As my blood mingled with my food, I said, “It's just not fair.”
Beth Bishop is a YA author putting a fresh, new spin on old fairy tales. She lives in Alabama with her husband and son.
