London, autumn, a loud utterance is heard abruptly in the cold air. The body of a female falls from a bridge. Steven Won is accused for murder and inside his cell a ghost comes into sight. A strong psychological war is born with the progressive rhythm of the loud utterance. A pact is agreed between life and death. Excerpt: I felt her kiss in my dreams, always more powerful. Her touch. Her perfume. I couldn’t fight the physical provocation. I made love to my terror.

I glance at my notes and start counting. Two weeks in here. Accused of the premeditated murder of my girlfriend. Imprisoned and drained. My energy is fading. I’m not sure how much longer I can endure. I’ve experienced a different world inside these iron walls. A world that terrifies me. Panic has frozen my soul. I am no longer myself; I’m alienated, disoriented . . . possessed. How long will I continue in this way? They put me in the uniform of prisoner no. 11. That’s what they’ve named me. Number Eleven.
What does it matter now? I want to remain quiet and not agitated, but no one believes what is happening to me in these moments. I, Steven Won, 29 years old—Here I am. Can you see the space I take up? I occupy a small London cell, 8 square meters. In here I breathe and live out the hours of the most terrifying days of my life. I am close to madness. Either I’m mad or others simply do not believe me. I see and feel the unperceivable. Nothing I say matters since no one trusts me, except my surrendered consciousness in this state of panic.
My watch is ticking and soon it will be 10 PM. I feel and know she is coming. She likes to play with my terror and will sit on my bed and observe.
