Life in Prison 4

The Invincible ME. What was i thinking? Did i really think that Long John would fold his arms while i destroyed all the respect he had taken many years to build if if i thought so i was mistaken. It was as though he had been given revelation that the particular week we were in was to be my last week in prison. “You think say you fit run away” “I talk am say everyday for the thief one day for the owner” Jon said. “What do you want this time” i retorted. Confidence welled up within me. I felt I could take on John anytime and anyhow. “Dagger, teach this boy a lesson he will never forget”. Before Knew what was happening Dagger had pour raw pepper into my eyes . The pain i felt in my eyes was great. At that instant i knew that i was done for. Wham! came the first slap. Then a follow up from John himself. Then followed a torrent of slaps kicks and punches. Not wanting to go out without a fight I decided to fight back. A side step without seeing where was all the space i needed. Whack! was all i heard next Frostie had come to my rescue as soon as i was able to side step. Slow did not come. He was careful because of the bad experience he had when he last fought John. Frostie and I were the only ones who fought John and his boys. Because of number we were overcome but for brawn we were superior. That night nursed a swollen eye. “ha ha ha” rang John laughter in the hall way. That night i thought up many ways to avenge myself of John. That revenge was not to be. On the 3rd of September theCourt decided to grant me parole. Being a freeman for a moment as i was leaving the prison yard did not mean much because I was of double minds. I would miss my new found friend Frostie who in himself was not a bad person and I would never be avenged of John.
