The White Mile
I can feel the walls closing in. I have never seen a more blackened
darkness. A silence so deep I can hear the mice and the cockroaches
running alone the floor. The guards come to get me and bring me to the
long walk. Iʼm walking the White Mile and I can see the horrified faces of
the others. I was framed, I didnʼt do anything wrong. The door is getting
closer and closer. I try to stop in my tracks but these monsters wonʼt let me.
They keep pushing me towards that door. No matter how many times I
shout that Iʼm innocent it makes no difference. Iʼm just feet away from the
door now. One last chance. I stop and pivot and just as Iʼm about to take off
running and never look back. The one person I thought was on my side
grabs my arm. I canʼt believe it. Itʼs my own mother. Now sheʼs making me
go towards the door. I donʼt understand, she said it wouldnʼt be this bad.
She told me it would all be okay. The door is just an arms length away. Iʼm
only ten years old so why am I being treated like a mass murderer? I hear
the sadistically evil laugh coming from the doctor behind the door. Iʼm
getting the three lethal injections or as others may call it, the flu shot.
