Just a short intro to what will be a multi-chapter fic approx. 6 or 7 chapters long... everything will be cleared up as the chapters go on.

We're gonna say this is a good 10 months to a year in the future of now in the show.

Enjoy (:

It was a process, a daily process.

Each morning you would wake up to the starch white walls and the clanking of metal doors. The cold floors and screeching beds were always a joy at 7:00 am. Changing into a new one-piece suit and slide on shoes was an even more welcoming feeling as it was always in the back of your mind that another someone had just worn them the day before. Cleaned or not- the dirty feeling crept up your skin as you walked out into the hall, hands pressed to the wall as an officer would pat you down and continue on to the next one once you were cleared.

Waiting anxiously, you watched as officers searched your space and cleared you of any violations before releasing you to head down the stairs in line to receive your oh-so yummy serving of slop and bread.

Your current roommate was recently convicted of sexual battery and domestic abuse. Hey, at least he was better than your previous one who was in there for armed robbery and murder. You never felt like you could close but one eye at night, never sure of what may come by morning. Though, not like you had any room to talk in the situation.

You didn't fit in. You knew you didn't belong there, but it was your deed to do time and get it over and done. Not that life would be the same any later on, but at least you'd be free from this hell hole. Some guy would approach you and try to get in on a scheme to mess with the authorities, but you'd gladly pass the offer and shuffle your way back up to your own personal place on your bed, where you could think to yourself and try and make the time pass quickly.

It'd only been a month... 11 to go and you'd be home free.

This was going to last a lifetime.

You may get what's going on, or you may be like "What did I just read?" Either way, leave a review and the next chapter shall answer what is happening. Hey, even take a whack at what you think may be happening, I'd love to see if our minds all think alike. (:
