A Time to Commune — Justin Mermelstein

Seymour arrived at Limbo 5-8 just over two years ago. At first, he and the rest of the occupants didn't really believe they would spend any significant time as prisoners. After all, internment camps weren't realistic in 2025, certainly not for US citizens. But the buildings were real and the years dragged on, and now, Seymour's new reality is a stark contrast to his life before detention. The disease, malnutrition, and mental degradation would be enough to drive anyone to their knees, yet fighting to survive is only part of the torment. What Seymour learns about himself might help keep him alive long enough to get through this hell. Or, it might just make the inevitable that much worse.
