Day 1,072

The door wasn't used to being opened, too accustomed to keeping prisoners locked in 'til they rotted to dust.

Its hinges shrieked and groaned in protest as something forced it to open from within.

This wasn't supposed to happen, they shouldn't be able to do this.

Usually it was held securely in place with an electric seal, to be opened only with the right keycard.

Today it seemed that the power had been shut off.

Today it was nothing more than a slab of metal, hinges barely able to open at all through years of rust.

Today it failed and the prisoner inside walked freely down the corridor.
