Slumped slightly to the left.

Attending a Trivia Q and A session.

And said to one another
“Let’s remove ALL the furniture!
The baby carriage and accessories

The constant rattling of chains,
Has been known to drive a man insane.
The steady clink of closed cell doors.
Voices filled with rage echoes down corridors.
