The sunlight reflected off the cold metal bars, illuminating the sleazy smile of his cellmate. The guy was just waiting, planning invasive entertainments once the lights went out. 

Matthew's loyalty to his boss melted away. Now he was willing to make a deal.

  3. I'd do all I could to get into solitary! Good one.

    ps. Your link on Gargleblaster goes to http://www.notjustanothermotherblogger.com/2014/06/confession.html?m=1 which takes you to a page which isn't formatted properly. If you drop the ?m=1 from the end i.e. http://www.notjustanothermotherblogger.com/2014/06/confession.html you get to the properly formatted story.

    Cheers,

  16. '... planning invasive entertainments ...' - so delicately put. Very strong - Matthew's change of heart completely understandable. Well done on packing so much into those few words.
