Cool addition to this story. Completely different setting, and it “sets up” your previous entry.
I remember my first night in jail. It totally sucked, and nobody was reading Ayn Rand.

Ha, I was sitting here trying to think of what the most incongruous thing was that I could have the big cell-mate guy doing, staring at my book-shelf…and there it was, big as day:
My Honkin’ Huge Collector’s Hardcover Centennial Addition of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.
Bingo.
And more’s coming on this, probably tomorrow. At least 2 more ficlets, maybe 3 or 4.

What else is there, but to read? I’ve never been in jail. I’ve visited one, _{school trip}, and seen one on TV, _{like that counts}, but I loved your little series and I’m glad you’re continuing :)

Aw…now there isn’t another ficlet to follow up. Now I know even less and want to know even more!

Thanks for the comments, guys/gals. Slowed down a bit there, but I threw a quick two up. These will answer some questions…and I think that two more will wrap up the series.

Great setting change. I like the dialogue here, it really makes you wonder what the character did to land himself in jail. Nice touch of irony with the cell-mate reading Ayn Rand.
