The Fear of 13 Page #9

Like that, you know.

"Take it. "

I looked up towards the houses.

Then I went like that.

And he said, "No, puff. "

And I went...

And I just got...

My head went crazy

and I heard this sound.

HE CLAPS:

And it was the stone that was

in his hand that he hit me with.

And then I felt him

bend down and he turned me

so that our shoulders were parallel

and my leg was on his arm there.

And he was raping me.

And he was making this, like,

guttural sound.

I started, like, whimpering.

He's like, "Shut the f*** up!

Shut the f*** up!

"I'll f***ing kill Jaco and your

whole family if you say to anybody.

"You understand me? I'm not a

f*ggot! I'm not a f***ing f*ggot!

"You understand me?"

Then he left and I screamed.

I was like, "Jaco!"

I kept screaming for Jaco.

One of the things that he said to me

when he was putting his pants right.

He looked at me and he said, "You

tell everybody you fell off a wall

"with that shopping cart over there.

You hear me?"

He like gave me this quick

rundown of what to say.

And as soon as I told

the first lie,

it was like once it was believed,

it was so hard to undo.

It spiralled.

And then...

.. everything changed.

From that day I found out

I was proven innocent from science,

it still took me seven more months.

I went back to death row

and I found out they took everything

out of my death row cell

and then they took me to this unit.

I was beside myself. They took me

to H block, the mental ward.

"What are you doing to me?"

I didn't understand.

I went over and I saw Major Locket,

the major of the guards.

I said, "What's going on?

Why am I here?"

And he said, "Mr Yarris, after

the experience that you had

"we don't want to risk

any of the staff

"being murdered by you in a rage

"in recognition for what

we have done to you. "

I went back to my cell.

And I had a plastic milk carton

and that was it.

A plastic mattress,

two sheets, two towels,

a pillowcase for that

plastic pillow and that was it.

They took every book, they took

my artwork, they took every comfort.

And I sat down on my bed

and I said,

"Oh, my God. They did me a favour. "

I folded my legs,

I sat straight in my yoga position.

And I started to dream of the life

I was going to have.

I was going to have a great life.

I'm going to meet me a girl,

I'm going to fall in love.

I'm going to have a family and best

of all I'm going to be a great dad.

That's what I'm going to do.

If you're going to take

everything from me,

OK, then instead...
