The Tower Pig


" While Caine undoubtedly finds Strazinsky to be responsible for his punishment, it seems, looking back in retrospective, that he is fully aware that he himself was to blame; yet all Caine's inner turmoil and anger is channelled into his hate for Strazinsky, and the fury towards his arch-enemy continues to blaze. .
             Though speaking solely from a speculative point of view, I have come to determine that imprisonment serves to have a debilitating effect on both mind and body alike.

             tenacious grip of terror prevails until a breaking has been carried out. Caine seems fully aware of this, and prudently manages to keep all his fears and doubts to himself. .
             Caine is greatly disturbed upon learning about the death of his beloved grandmother, the one person who, despite him being imprisoned, still managed to show him both love and care. Caine is granted permission to go to her funeral, but in spite of being only a minimum security inmate, it is required that Caine goes in chains, and under the vigilant eye of a designated warden. To worsen matters extensively, the warden tasked with the assignment happens to be Strazinsky. .
             " Strazinsky stays up on the wall whenever he can, sequestered in North Post, the gun tower that commands the prison street. Older inmates will argue how long he's been the Tower Pig, but no one denies he's been on that wall longer than most of us have been inside it. His brother officers, doing their eight hours in the tower and loathing their isolation, don't know what to make of him. To them he's a freak, an outcast, almost no better than the inmates.
