Riding the Adrenaline Chicken

They had just unchained the doors and finally released over 12,000 people out onto the ramparts for fresh air and to smoke.

It smelled like the outhouse at a deathcamp.
There were maybe 100 Guard Troops looking very nervous and tiny amongst 12,000 other evacuees.
But there was just no where for them to go.
The water was too deep.
I saw a few people jumping off into it, with a guardsman hailing to Stop but then just letting them go.
Imagine yourself locked two days in this building with 12,000 strangers, the doors Chained Shut and the Air Conditioning Off . Imagine There's No Heaven.
