Day One : The Beginning


Attempting an explanation would be folly. There are but three of us now, Madden, Perry & myself, with a fourth to arrive monday week. Hopefully there will be news of loved ones as we have heard that Lithgow gave 'em a good run for their money on the outside, but for now as we prepare for the rumble of the trucks, the bitter cold that seeps into everything we own & the terrifying unknown that awaits us at the Elveden Forest Village, it is enough to be grateful that we still have our health & pray that He will see us through whatever is to come. For Madden & myself these are virgin territories although Perry has served time before & the picture he paints is not pretty. I know him well enough to understand that he is softening the blow but to what extent I cannot possibly imagine. The very mention of Aqua Sana Spa reduces him to bitter tears & he will not go on. We must be strong, however. Tomorrow morning they shall take us to the Suffolk borders against our will & together we must do battle with the paralysing fear that threatens to suffocate us. I can say no more. God help us all...
