She lived in a box;  came out every day dressed perfect. She came back each evening dropped to her knees and crawled in the box.

He watched day, night worried some one would hurt her.  he knew about hurt, he had hurt many women; but this one he could not touch.  He watched day and night ; how could she live in a box.  HOW?  a manta circled his mind . Hitting the glass pane he screamed "look up".  He was desperate she had to look at him. He ran the short distance hitting  his head on the glass.

She looked up, then rose up, up untill she looked at him bleeding and smiled.  He couldn't speak.  A guard entered pulled him from the window, NO NO,he screamed at the guards pulling him out the door, she smiled waved come here. Get the chair said a guard loosing his grip;  This was it, running as desperate man can hitting his head on the window at the same place shattering it and his skull. The women smelling so good held him, we being waiting a long time you, come and they moved though the glass down to the box.

His body fell to the floor, the gaurd shook his head "gone crazy, like all the others, this cell gives me the creeps"
