Inmate 0041 Property damage · one count

One glass. One table. It was standing close to the edge before I ever walked in, and the part where I touched it is the only part anybody remembers. I hold the bars because everyone here expects me to hold the bars.

The daily routine

Three fixed points. Everything between them is me lying down in a different corner of the same square.

Bars

I grip them for a while every morning. Nobody explained why, it simply seems to be the position. My paws are small, the bars are not.

The tray

Grey mush, four beans, a slice of bread and a bowl of something brown. I have examined this tray forty one times and it has never once been fish.

Yard

Same sky, further away. There is a tower with a man in it who has never looked at me once, and honestly that is the most restful part of my day.
