Languishing inside a cell(his demons) so fierce and punishing; isolating loneliness pierce the core of his misery. Every so often, he feels claustrophobic, as if inside a coffin.

Wow! Excellent writing, Edward. Especially liked the reference to feeling like you are in a "coffin." Isolation does make us feel that way! Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
