(untitled, based on After by Amy Efaw)

I left my small office, but I saw that a new prisoner came. I went back to my office and waited for the prisoner. It was a girl like everyone in this prison. I was new here and have to work as a mother for the teenies and I´ve to watch out that nobody will go out or do bad things. ´´name? ´´, I asked the new girl. The police officer answered: ´´Devon Sky Davenport.´´ I looked it up in the computer. I saw the name and said the room number: ´´13.´´ Devon Davenport looked around and looked like a hit dog. I came with her and the police officer left the room and shouted: ´´Bye´´ - ´´Bye´´, I shouted too. I explained some important things to Devon : ´´I wake you up at 7o´clock, breakfast started at 8o´clock, but before breakfast you get your bag with some things like tooth brush and soap. After breakfast you are going to go to school here. But you´re new here and you don´t go to school this week , but next week. You get your lunch at 1 o´clock pm. After lunch you can play games with the other girls. At 9 o´clock pm you go sleeping and the light is out. I hope you come to me if you have any questions!´´ Devon looked sad but she agreed…

After 3 weeks Devon looked happier, but she didn´t like Karma, because Karma called her a devil. Karma is a poor child, who was very sad and bullied Devon and the other girls. We counted every pencil, spoon and fork, because a lot of girls here would like to kill the other prisoners or themselves. Every day we had another girl count and give out the things. After lunch I saw Devon, Jenevra, Evie and Sam. They played basketball, but I heard a crying prisoner. I thought it was Karma. She came to me with a sharply carved part of a spoon  and wanted like to kill me. I pushed the red buzzer for the police, but it was too late. Karma scratched my arms, too. I died…

Ghost: ´´I hope Devon is going to get out of prison and Karma becomes normal and happy!´´
