Summary
The cell is dark, humid and smells of piss. It’s the only smell that registers for the first three hours they spend inside, still panting, Sergeant Hegarty sporting in his eyes the steel of a man who knows he’s going to get shot. There’s still blood drying over his thick eyebrows, his glasses speckled with reddish dust John does not dare inspect from up close.
“We’re going to die here.”
One cell. Two soldiers. Thirty days with each other for company after a five day siege. Four walls. One window.
