No One Wanted
to Help
The elderly woman slowly bent down and began collecting her belongings.
One of the inmates noticed a photograph on the ground and kicked it farther away.
“Crawl, Grandma. Go get it.”
Other prisoners had been watching the scene unfold. Yet none of them stepped forward.
Everyone in the yard knew Razor’s reputation. Anyone who challenged her risked becoming the next target.
Handbags & Purses
The elderly woman therefore had to collect her belongings alone.
She quietly reached for the photograph and picked it up.
But when she attempted to stand, Razor shoved her by the shoulder.
The elderly woman lost her balance and dropped to her knees.
The three women laughed again.
“Maybe you don’t belong here at all. Maybe you belong in a nursing home.”
The elderly woman tried to rise, but another push sent her back onto the ground.
“Please, stop,” she begged.
