Xander's First Night...Xander's First Fight

His bunkmate Adebesi gave Xander a genial smile, but something dark and twisted brew in his eyes, swirling like a hurricane. His smile was the eye of the storm, calm and content, promising peace. Then, in the dark of night, the storm hit Xander with a fury.

Cold cement met his face, freezing him in place. Mammoth hands grasped his waist. Xander headbutted the ‘homeboy’, surprising him. Something primal ran through Xander, spurring his body into action.

Guards shouted, flashlights shone, illuminating blood and bone.

Xander was placed into ‘the hole’ that night, thanks to the outcome of his fight.
