HT100 Challenge #157 - Faith

This is what happens when you watch "The Routine" for the zillionth time.

100 words from the perspective of Dino Ortolani



It’s six in the morning and I’m awake. Not much different than any other day here in the joint. I get up and look out into the half-light to see Kareem Said in his pod, already in prayer.

I was taught that faith in God was something that had to be set aside in order to get any respect. My only loyalty needed to be to the organization.

Yet Said has respect, even from me, though I wouldn’t admit it to anyone, and it’s just because his faith in God makes him strong. I wonder...

Fuck it. I ain’t Muslim.
