Dimitri They brought me food three times a day. Breakfast was usually bread and eggs, lunch was rice and vegetables, dinner was meat and potatoes. The food was good, better than I expected, and there was always plenty of water. But I was not satisfied, I was not comfortable. I wanted to leave this basement. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. The air felt thick and heavy, I could not breathe properly down here. Every time the guards came with food, I tried to talk to them, I tried to ask them to let me out. "Please," I would say. "I need to leave this place, I need fresh air, I need to see the sun." But they never answered, they just set down the food and water and left without a word. It was like talking to walls, like they could not even hear me.
