Music playlist

  I don't really have any favorites but I'll just make a list of some that are of note to me. Soul Asylum -  Runaway Train, as a kid I was into trains and thought it was cool that the song had trains as a part of it. Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train, for the same reason as above and also the Kick-Ass guitar intro. Van Halen - Jump,  this is the song that I trained for professional roller skating too. AC DC - Thunderstruck, for being the epitome of exactly what a rock song should sound like. AC DC - Hells Bells, even though I'm still shit at playing guitar this was the first song that I can play past one lick.  Guns n' Roses - Sweet Child of Mine,  having another kick ass guitar intro, which is also one of the few likes that I've learned to play.  Boston - More Than A Feeling, because how could you not like this fucking song, I haven't heard a song from Boston that I did not like Free - All Right Now, probably the best one-hit wonder of all time Kansas - carry on...

I just got done clearing out all his stuff and was checking to see if anything was missed. Content with the state of the room I head toward the door and hit the call button. Nothing. This cell block is the prison's dementia ward. The prison doesn't allow inmates with dementia to unlock their doors from the inside. Right now, inside my office, there is a little blinking light corresponding to the cell I'm in, notifying that an inmate would like to leave their cell. There's also only one CO stationed on this block. That would be me. So here I am, and I'm an idiot. Well now, what do I do?  I got my usual kit on me, cuffs, keys, and radio. Cuffs aren't going to do m...
