Streaked with Purple


           The evening sky was streaked with purple, the color of torn plums, and a light rain had started to fall when i came to the end of the blacktop road that cut through twenty miles of thick, almost impenetrable scrub oak and pine and stopped at the front gate of Angola penitentiary.
