For The Price Of Tea & Eggs In India: An Occupational Hazard>Act 22

Disclaimer: By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage. Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs. He who learns but does not think is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger. Fiction can be that way sometimes. Any similarities to persons living or dead are purely coincidental & should not be taken or misconstrued as such. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably believes that he who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

Every life span has its mortality; it’s just what we choose to do with it within a particular time frame that makes it all crystal clear. Sometimes on Devil’s Island one learns the hard way that mortality has its price, meaning who will be spared for the moment, while who gets the one-way ride on the gurney to the death house for the last time.

One never knows his or her consequences until the day of the actual event and in many ways it makes one feel as if they have been placed in a Nazi concentration camp, with little chance of survival, meaning the only ways out are by secret underground tunnels built and organized by freedom fighters or death.

In the time one can spend here like many of us have done so in the past and present, the death rate has been awfully and unusually high, right now the average execution or escape rate comes up to two souls every three months.

When I first arrived on Devil’s Island, the escape and execution rate was exceedingly high, averaging seven to 10 souls per month within in a 24-month period; of course that was during the regime of Old Black Devil, whose motto was “honor the guilty and punish the innocent.”

Not since the flighty days when The Fraternal Goon Twins, Groggleman and Old Black Devil ruled the roost on Devil's Island, have tensions mounted steadily and the prisoner population appears to be more on edge.

The mere fact that each prisoner is required to wear a wristband that monitors their every movement, action, breath, sound, word and thought that processes through their heads is a sure sign of bad times ahead.

Paranoia has set in across Devil's Island like a thick dense fog and no one seems to have any sense about themselves as to what should be done. Yes my friends, it's true; Devil's Island has reunited itself with evil...God help us all!!!
