I cannot see but the hunger sharpens my nose and ears. I hear the other one scrape, trip, curse, shift. I smell its breath and sweat. Sometimes it pleads when I get close and wave my knife. I need to eat. I’m sorry but hunger drowns the sorrow. The soldiers were cruel to seal a mother and son in here to die but they were monsters for leaving air holes. Now I am an animal. I hear my prey in the dusty darkness. So hungry… so hungry… so hungry I cannot even remember whether I was the mother or the son.
