All That I've Got

chapter 16- in case of fire

Something happened, a few days later. Frank was slow from lack of water, and it took him a moment to realize that the world outside had been overtaken by unnatural blackness. Smoke. It was inky and pungent: Frank could smell it through the poorly-sealed window.

Was the building on fire? Frank knew if it was, he’d die in here. No one would rescue him. Saving the ‘bait’ wasn’t worth any Jury member’s life. The thought was crushing, and it was the possibility Frank had refused to let himself think of. But now it seemed he’d have to. He was going to die here, in a crappy cell, 21 floors from the ground.

Maybe this was fate too.
