Date: November 27, 1938
Location: Manehatten, Demented Prison

Welcome to Demented Prison. If you stroll down cell block D in this prison in the 1930's. you would pass the temporary home of Rip Off. He looks like a wimp, but he ain't a wimp, he just acted that way. He also had a bisexual cell mate, and a mare and stallion that treated him like a punching bag. He needed to get out and get his own cell. He cried like a wimp everyday. Once the guard's decided he needed his own cell he no longer acted like a wimp. He was a cheater that never got a truthful bit in his life. A few days later he got moved to another cell next to a pony that sells what he wants for a pack of cigarettes.

"Louie." Rip Off whispered to the cell near him.

"Yeah." Louie whispered back.

"Did you get the stuff." Rip Off whispered showing Louie a pack of cigarettes.

Louie grabbed the cigarettes through the bars of his cell and handed Rip Off a deck of cards.

"You didn't get em from me." Louie whispered.

Rip off grabbed the deck of cards through his bars and smiled. Rip Off knew his way with a stack of cards. However, he wasn't thinking about cheating in poker like he usually did to get a few bits. He knew that playing cards were coated with nitrocellulose a reactive plastic that when mixed with water produces the highly volatile nitrite acid. In other words he can turn a simple deck of cards into a bomb.

He ripped the cards into little pieces, took a hollow bed leg from his own bed, stuffed it full of the card pieces, and filled it with water from his own sink. He was looking around making sure no officer saw what he was doing. He covered the bed leg with pieces of his own hair, shook it a bit and put it on a space heater he had next to the wall. it was close to winter, so every inmate had a heater in their cell. As soon as the water and card mixture heated up the chemical reaction would blow open a hole to freedom.

Rip Off got ready for the explosion. He flipped over his bed and mattress. Hid behind it and covered his ears. Waiting for the explosion. He Waited..Waited and.. Waited.. and..What the fuck. Nothing happened. Rip off no longer waited and went to go check what was wrong. Did Rip off forget something. Rip Off decided to check his device. He picked it up and that's when his escape plan.

*BOOM!!!*

...Blew up in his face.

"Woah! What was that!!" Louie shouted from his cell.

"What the fuck!!" Another inmate shouted.

Everypony was in a panic. Prisoner's were screaming and shouting. Officers came and shut them up. They checked Rip Off's cell, and saw that pieces of card's were stabbed all over his face, and chest. Also metal from his bed leg were also stabbed all over his face and chest. He was...Dead.

"We need a body bag." An officer said.

When Rip Off picked up his home made bomb he gave it the final shake it needed to properly mix and detonate. In this situation the shrapnel from the metal of the pipe bomb when it exploded it got in bedded into Rip Off's skull and his brain. Also the shrapnel from the playing cards did a lot of tissue damage in bedding pieces within the chest and the head. It was like multiple gun shot wounds. Rip Off was done for. He killed himself with his own bomb.

If Rip Off's plan had worked, it would have been an escape for the books. Instead it's just another way to die in our list. Sorry Rip Off. Escape just...Wasn't in your cards.
