Hope can bloom in the most desolate places.
The lavender flowers climbing up the chain link outside Ava’s infirmary
window are proof of that. They grow through cracked concrete and weave
through barbed wire, bringing beauty to the prison yard. They are the only
beautiful thing she can see in this small white room where she spends most of
her waking hours. They comfort her but must feel like a cruel tease of the real
world to the inmates.
She turns away from the view to watch a caged clock on the wall, wishing
the minutes would tick by faster so she can head home and wash off the prison
scent.

The stench of antiseptic, bleach, plastic wrappers, and latex gloves
permeates her clothes in a way she’s never quite gotten used to. Even after two
years, she’s still sensitive to the chemicals used in this place. It’s an effort to
scour away the germs with little consideration for the people breathing them
in. She had to sign a waiver a mile long when she accepted this job. There’s got
to be a line somewhere in the small print about hazardous fumes and potential
lung cancer twenty years down the road.
This isn’t the place for sensitivities. She learned that the first day when an
inmate complained of stomach pains and she’d found a stick of deodorant
stuck up his ass. It was lesson one on how cruel people can be to each other,
particularly in a place where they have nothing but time to contemplate how
to diminish the human spirit.
She sighs as she checks over the medical charts for the day. No one left on
her list, all meds have been given and scrapes tended to. Nothing serious
enough to require paging a doctor; no attempted suicides or gang-related
incidents, which were always the most violent of cases.
