Prison Yard Princess

Prison Yard Princess

By Linda S. Gunther


“Please, leave me alone.”


“You’re the new prison yard Princess. And, I’m the Queen around these parts, Miss Uppity.”


“Can you stop smoking that joint? Please, I got asthma. I shouldn’t be in here.”


“They all say that their first month inside. But why so pale? Your cheeks were rosy this morning. I noticed.”


“That prison guard, Cynthia, she’s the mother of my boyfriend. He framed me for smuggling drugs.”


“Cynthia? God-damn! She sold me this weed.”


“She had him set me up. Send me to her prison.”


“Don’t worry, Princess. I got plans for her. And they ain’t pretty.”

I know her life ain’t easy, and at the same time, I still fall into the same small talk I desperately want to avoid. Cause just looking at her I know it’s not easy. Taking care of four kids by herself while working at Church's chicken ain’t nothing to even smile about. But I still ask her “How's everything” because I have no clue what else I should say to you. I want to make a joke, cause you know me as a class clown but life is no joke, and I know that better than anyone. Life's not fair in the slightest and I’ve always known that from being in foster care. Yet even I didn’t think life could be so cruel to just steal Rufina’s life from her. You tell me about how tough things ha...

Why was the door alarmed?
