It's cold and dark.
I have no idea where I am anymore.
My stomach makes loud rumbling noises.
Begging for food.

I see shadows dancing in the corner.
My eyes burn when I close them.
Tears going down my cheek.
I rock back and forth.
I want to go home.

I hear evil creeping down the hallway.
The loud footsteps getting closer.
The nervous feeling in my body grows stronger.
My body shaking uncontrollably.

I hear the cries of the other prisoner.
I slowly make my way to greet the shadows.
I hear evil playing with the other prisoners
When will it be my turn?
I hope not to soon.

I listen as the footsteps get closer.
Then I hear the keys dangling.
I look evil in its eyes but I can't see them.
Will this be my last hour alive?

Evil then unleashes me from its grasp
I ran out and saw the other prisoners.
Are we getting executed?
No we are going home.
Finally I can rest easy.

The Stanfords Experiment was an experiment conducted by college students. It consisted of 24 people divided into two groups the prisoners and the guards. The experiment was conducted to test the theory of psychology role play. The experiment only lasted six days as most of the prisoners became depressed or distressed because the guards were physically and mental abusing them.
