It is extremely boring inside this cell, comfortable though it may be. I have still not met with my lawyer program.

The peeps were waiting for me even as I was having my eyes and chip scanned as part of the hospital's patient release process. As I was finishing, two very stern men in blue-gray uniforms appeared, one on either side of me. "Mr. Smith?" one said. "We need you to come with us ( Read more... )
