Rust
“Walled in.
This is a nightmare, he thinks. Please.
But the way his shoulder aches, pressed as it is into the dirt, and his shirt, which had bunched up around his neck like a noose when he’d finally collapsed and rolled to the edge of this room, these things tell him it is real. He had arrived in the back of a truck, fifty men packed in like animals. They were chained to one another at the ankles. Only a few were able to shove their way to the long benches that lined either side of the truck bed... to sit. It had been a long ride. Dusty. He had kept his head lowered, refusing to look through the open sides of the truck at the city, then its edges, and then the green countryside.
Finally, they had spilled out. They were pushed through a gate.
Into this room. A pen, really. One word above the door was in English: “Processing.”
He has not slept for three days. When he closes his eyes at last, not caring what happens to him anymore, no matter what it is, everything stops and the world goes black.MoreLess
