City of Cruelty And Copper (Temperance Era)
“I was homicidal, insane and paranoid, but I had no desire to die. Not for real. Playing games with me in the Arena was one thing. I was used to bear traps, zombies, and unexpected trap doors. What I wasn’t prepared for was this. Every day for the past two weeks someone has been dangerously close to my cell. I hear their breathing on the other side of the lead wall that separates me from their world. I hear their steady gait, boom, boom, boom across the sculpted cave floor. I hear the click of t...he little metal container and I smell it.
Orange juice.
There’s no challenge in it, they never open my cage, they never bother to let me out. They set it down, just outside of my cell and leave. I inhale the scent for hours. It’s always the same tangy orange scent, the same chemical freshness hitting my nostrils. I breathe it in forgetting anything except the orange juice. I black out to the smell, curl up on the ground inside my cage hoping that it goes away. I’m bored enough as it is, I don’t need familiar smells keeping me out of my trance.MoreLess
