THE REJECTION Twenty years sentence
Sarah's POV.The police arrest me, and I am kept in a cell. I cry my eyes out when they bring me supper for me to eat. It was a mixture of beans and maize. I have never eaten the meal before, and I struggled eating it since I was so hungry.“You pretend so much, madam. Eat because you will not find any better food for you here. So you better eat fast. Next time I come here, I am going to take that plate from you. I am only giving you ten minutes” The police woman says in a harsh voice. I struggle to eat quickly.

That is why I promised myself that I will be enjoying my own company.The prison premises were so boring. Starting from the food. It was the same meal almost every day. They only changed the menu on an important day. That day all the prisoners will eagerly wait for the meal, especially me. I really hated the food here. I ate it just to survive.
