Dear Diary,
Today, the sun painted the sky in hues of warmth, yet its rays barely reached the cold corners of my cell. As I sit on this cold, unforgiving floor, I can't help but reflect on the twisted dance of fate that brought me here.
The breakfast tray arrived, a pitiful offering of the usual. Even hunger fails to stir my appetite these days.
Today, a letter arrived for one of my mates– a fragile link to the outside world. You could see his hands trembling as he unfolded the paper, eager for that connection that transcends these cold, lifeless walls. It was from a loved one, the ink on the pages carrying whispers of home, of the life out there. Tears welled in his eyes as he read the letter aloud and it reminded of the freedom slipping through my fingers.
As night descends, the sounds of distant cries and muffled sobs merge into a haunting symphony, a testament to the shared suffering of those entwined in this web of despair. I find solace in the ink trails I leave on the walls, my feeble attempt to leave a mark in a place that threatens to erase all traces of my humanity.
I long for the embrace of the moonlit night outside these suffocating walls, for the gentle breeze that carries the scent of home.
I know they can't, they shouldn't. But I wonder if someone will one day write to me.
