Design to Escape

by Joshua Holmes

Published 16 December 2015
After years behind bars, Thor resolves to get out. But as the latest inmate to attempt the most recent high profile prison break from PA's York County Prison, he again is faced with his curse. Just feet from freedom, he has an epileptic seizure, and is caught by the guards. Even so, in the ensuing days, he refuses to give up information regarding the design to escape. That same week, Graphic Designer Remi Painter visits the prison to look into a teaching opportunity. However, even before he completes the classroom tour, the warden tells him there has been a change in plan. Remi, also afflicted by epilepsy, will do what interrogators cannot: relate to Thor and obtain clues he has yet to release. Remi succeeds, but is confused when the warden brings the talks to a halt. Emotionally invested, Remi seeks answers, but soon finds out he's learned too much. With the help of his friends, he will attempt to escape those who want him silenced, and uncover the secrets that may or may not save him from peril.
