Book Cover & Preview Text
Why can’t I focus? It’s not because Corporal Slogan was blunt and to the point. It’s not because Corporal Slogan made me wear a sweater. It’s not even because he told me I would be called derogatory names. It’s because there are two inmates in the hallway and they are staring at me. Staring is not a strong-enough word. Glaring at me would not be strong enough. They are gawking at me so badly that my palms begin to sweat vigorously. They are gawking at me so badly that my stomach is churning and I’m ten seconds from regurgitating on the jail’s floor. They are gawking at me so intensely that I can feel my clothes being torn from my body. I’m naked. They are touching me. They are fondling me…they are ready to rape me! I’m screaming, but no one hears. The blonde and Corporal Slogan are still conversing. One of the inmates is caressing my breast; the other inmate is ready to cut off my underwear. Stop it! Stop it! “Help! HELP!” ***** “Private. Private...Private!” I turn towards the blonde and she’s smirking at me, “It’s going to be okay. Stay focused!” She leaves us. Corporal Slogan is looking at me. I can feel that he wants to say something, but can’t find the right words. He wants to be gentle but to the point. He sees me constantly wiping my sweaty palms on the outer thigh area of my dark blue pants. He watches me pull out my handkerchief and pat at my upper lip and then my forehead. He must see that I’m about to faint, because he quickly pulls a chair up to the desk right in time for me to keel into it. He walks over to the two inmates and takes them around a corner. He comes back...alone, relieving ninety percent of my anxiety.
