The walls of the isolation chamber had become strewn with drawings from its many inhabitants. Somepony had even draw a lewd drawing of a mare's rear end. I tried not to think about what that picture was probably used for. But then my mind drifted as it tended to do in here. How many days had it been? I'd slept very little, eaten even less.
