Help, I Am Being Held Prisoner

I woke up and it was still dark. I sat bolt upright and said, "Hey!"

"Mmf?" A sleepy form moved in the darkness next to me. "What?"

"What time is it?"

"Um. Oom." Rustling and rattling. "Twenty after five."

"Holy Christ!" I shouted, and jumped out of bed. "I've got to get back to prison!"

She sat up and switched on the bedside lamp. Squinting at me, she said, "I've known some weird guys, Harry, but you're the winner. I've had them wake up and say, 'I've got to get back to my wife' 'I've got to catch a plane, 'I've got to go to Mass.' But I never in my life heard anybody say they had to go back to prison."

HELP I AM BEING HELD PRISONER is the story of Harry Kunt, a practical joker who winds up in the state prison when one of his hoaxes accidentally injures two Congressmen.

In the jail he meets seven tough cons with their own private tunnel into the prison town, making them the world's first prisoner commuters.
