The warden sometimes wears women's heels so those make kind of a clicking noise....

Great job today though!

Nice!!

also second agreement on the kudos to who got the food bit. Well done!

I hear the footsteps approaching. It's the only sound in my day as they clomp steadily towards me, and then the light that breaks in as the small slot is opened. A grating sound as the aluminum tray is slid inside before the slot is slid back into place and the little lock engages with a click. The food is warm but mostly flavorless, nothing to write home about. Not that I could write home, they won't give me pen and paper, or light, for that matter. It is later, after the food is finished and my tray taken away that the emptiness of this place really closes in. That's when you really start slipping. At first you pass the time with thinking,then you find the silence too much and start singing, eventually you end up talking to yourself. Until the voices start talking to you...

Keep working, maggots. I'll check again in the morning.

I think this is where we are at. I left the spots that don't seem certain in dead red. Please check for mistakes!

If new letters, I think we should definitely check if some of those S's and H's fit, for instance, and maybe get more. And another vowel.

I took out the "in my" that went with "ear" as the whole word grouping could be wrong.

The -l------ seems like it is likely a word ending in "ing". Like planning or something like that. I like the thought about plot being slot or slit. Light shining through a slit feels prison-y.

And kudos to whoever got the flavourless food, that's genius.

Also, if anyone feels that I misrepresented them on my list, please say so. I may have made a mistake, it's hard when we are all just numbers.

Tweaked the "then" to "they" in the first line.
