About this listen
The cracks had opened wide one day, let the monsters out, and swallowed every bright thing.
While the cell is sparse and cold, at least this one has a bed. The figure resting there is too thin; too still, the prominent bones the result of long starvation, the stillness the product of too much anguish and abuse. He watches, though. An anxious, intelligent mind still occupies this frail and failing body, one that watches and wonders about the new guard occupying his cell each night.

374215 has little routines to try to survive his incarceration, but one day in the medical room, the doctors ( I hesitate to dignify them with this label as they are just sadistic) nearly kill him with some chemical experiment.
From there Scar steps up and takes care of 374215 and helps him to recover physically from this latest torture and gently pushes him to emotional recovery too. Scar supports him through the return of his memories and coaxes him to realise that not all was lost when he was captured.
From then on it becomes a rescue mission as it becomes clear who 374215 and Scar actually are, and that the enemy is failing.
It was short, but none the less very memorable and poignant, a story that has stuck with me for years since I first read it. For all its darkness, it is quite uplifting.
The narrator is new to me, so I looked him up and he does alot of books on battles and military history and such. This is a military Sci-Fi tale and he suits it admirably. The prisoner starts weak and gets stronger and Bill gets Scar's rough voice correctly - he was injured in battle and consequently has voice damage. He also got the chilling creepy voices of the enemy in the vid room
I thought it was well done, just wish it could have been longer, and more given about our heroes HEA.
