The small concrete room was covered in a thick layer of muddy filth. Rows of humming fluorescent lights lined the ceiling. Collapsed in the center was a large pale figure. His hair was an ashy blonde, near white and overgrown. He was shackled to the floor with rusted iron chains, much to short for him the move more than a few inches. Horrendous wounds covered his bare body. Thankfully, the freezer-like temperature had kept infection at bay.

His brow trembled, awaking to the faint sounds of moans and uneven breathing. Close by a man was huddled in the corner. A shackle was secured uncomfortably tight around his ankle. He was young with childlike facial features. His dark wheat fringe had been ratted with mud, sticking up in places it was not meant to.

"Do I have a new roommate?" He asked in Russian, his native tongue. His voice was rough, dry from dehydration.

The youth's eyes flashed open. They were as cold and fierce as the Russian Tundra. A bright blue, the color of pure sapphire.

"Where am I?" He demanded. His speech was undoubtedly American. "What is this place?"

"An American?"

"I asked where I am, COMMIE SCUM!"

"Hush, hush." The Russian spoke calmly. "I do not think you should yell. If the guards hear, you will get some un-welcomed attention. You do not want, I promise."

The youth looked over to the heavy metal door, then back at the man shackled down to the floor. He cautiously crawled towards him.

"Where am I?" He asked again, quietly.

"I believed I was being held at an American Military Prison, but, now, I do not think."

"So, this place is not Russian?"

"No. I do not know even what the guards are. They do not speak, nor expose their faces. I have not the reason why I am being held here, nor you."

"How long have you been here?"

"Weeks? Months? Years? This, I do not know. In this place of torture, time does not exist. I have not seen past this room, since I have arrived. Occasionally I get a roommate, but they die before they even awake from the first beating. You are the only one, I have seen survive."
