REVELATION-final1

By day 64 I had lost 55 pounds of my initial body weight and weighed only 150 pounds (68 Kg),which I had not weighed since I was 16 years old. My heart felt paper thin and ready to rip atany time. To see if my bowels still worked I began eating a cup of yogurt at breakfast. Mymouth had forgotten how to chew and the food felt strange on my tongue, but the weight beganto increase fourfold to my daily intake of yogurt, which is impossible for me to explain. By day68 I added honey to my diet and increased my yogurt intake to three cups a day and in responsemy weight increased by a factor of four too.Before I was reintroduced into the general population, I spent a week in the hospital on myrequest since the administration was anxious to get me into dorm 4 where the government, I wasto soon find out, had planted a team of three undercover officers.Throughout my hunger strike and despite the terrible conditions, I never once felt depressed orsad. On the contrary, I was in a state of grace. As I had to describe my condition every day tothe visiting nurse, I did so by saying “I feel physically weakened, mentally strengthened andspiritually in a state of grace”.It took Quinte 40 days to officially ask me why I was on hunger strike, at which point I gavethem my three reasons in writing:1. To be reunited with my children2. To be treated for what I am, a political prisoner and not a common criminal3. To be allowed to work discreetly on changing global policy from covert to overtdepopulationAfter about 45 days of hunger strike the jail guards (blue shirts), supervisors (white shirts) andwarden (known as the Dragon Lady) gave up trying to break me and instead treated with me withsubdued respect since they had never before seen anyone go without food for more than 14 days.By the time my hunger strike was over, I had a long beard and looked like Jesus, which is whatthe inmates in dorm 4, where I was moved, began calling me as soon as I entered the generalpopulation and was once again among people.It felt great to be among my fellow inmates, among human beings, even though I love solitude.My status, needless to say, was special. The men looked at me with reverence, others with feareven, and the very young were mesmerized by what I had done and how I looked.The system learned that I am a man to be reckoned with and I learned that the system has nochance against me, because I am stronger and I will bury it.206
