309 Words2 Pages

He forced himself to step forward. The impact of his heel on the concrete jarred him from his lethargy. “Jakob Seilberg, don’t turn your back to me,…please.” “Stay here, Donna.” He walked back to the elderly woman… “Hello, Margaret. How are you doing?” She lifted her frail hand, discolored with liver spots, from her walker.

Emptiness hung in the air, silent if not for the creaking of lead cages. With his eyes flicking between the cages, stairwells, and the bright glittering globe in the center, Jack comes to the conclusion that the place might feel emptier more because of the lack of teeth canisters than anything else.
