Ptsd Prison Quotes

“Rupert stood there for a moment. He took inventory of what sort of life he was stepping back into. His friends were still there, except for Dorian. His apartment was still there, Danny said. His job was gone, according to Arthur and Hakim. And he had been just an observer from the sidelines for more than a half a year, trying every day to entertain and manipulate the guards and other prisoners into leaving him alone and not hassling him. He realized he had become accustomed to seeing everyone and every new environment he entered as a potential threat.”
― Mark Salzwedel, The Miraculous Life of Rupert Rocket
